The USC Travelers topped the Northwestern Purple Haze, 9-4, with right fielder Donald Banks playing a big role. Banks went 4-4 with a home run and 3 singles, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 3 for the Travelers in the win. Mario Mercalo, the winning pitcher, is now 3-4. He went 5 innings, allowing 2 runs on 5 hits, while fanning 2 and walking 2. USC now has a record of 28-26 with the win.

Carl O'Neill had a key at-bat with one out in the bottom of the third for USC. With the bases loaded and the Travelers leading 3-2, he hit a sacrifice fly.

"We'll savor this win," Banks told the USC Daily, "then get ready for the next game."
