The USC baseball team closed out its 2026 home schedule with a decisive sweep of Nevada at Dedeaux Field, finishing the series with a 41‑12 overall record.
That victory not only gave the Trojans their 41st win of the season but also marked the first time since 2005 that the program has crossed the 40‑win threshold, a milestone that resonates deeply with the school’s baseball legacy.
A milestone rooted in tradition
During the 1970s, under the legendary Rod Dedeaux, USC routinely posted 40‑plus win seasons, establishing a culture of excellence that has now been revived under current head coach Andy Stankiewicz.
Stankiewicz’s leadership has been pivotal, guiding the squad through a demanding schedule and fostering the consistency needed to compete at the highest level.
Looking ahead
The Trojans are set to embark on a three‑game series at Oregon before turning their attention to the Big Ten Tournament in Omaha, where another strong performance could secure a second straight berth to the NCAA Tournament.
With momentum on their side and a roster that has clicked throughout the season, USC is poised to extend its winning streak and add another chapter to its storied program.
