In a disappointing series finale, the No. 12 USC Trojans lost 16-6 to the Nebraska Cornhuskers, completing a three-game sweep. USC initially took the lead with an RBI single from Jack Basseer, but Nebraska quickly responded with a powerful offense. Key moments included a three-run home run from Kevin Takeuchi and back-to-back homers from Augie Lopez, who hit two in the game. However, the introduction of Nebraska's RHP Ty Horn shifted the momentum, as he halted USC's offense and allowed the Cornhuskers to take control. Nebraska's Mac Moyer and Drew Grego contributed significantly to their scoring, with Grego's grand slam in the sixth inning sealing the Trojans' fate. This series marked the largest Big Ten series attendance in Nebraska baseball history with 21,383 fans. After a strong start to the season, USC has now lost eight of their last 11 games and will look to rebound against Cal State Fullerton on Tuesday.
