The Peristyle Podcast has been the place for USC Trojan football discussion since 2008.
Shotgun Spratling and Kasey Kazliner return on the Dedeaux Download Podcast to break down USC baseball's 7-0 start to the season following a 10-run rule midweek win over Loyola Marymount and a sweep of Rice. The Trojans' weekend starting pitching was again electric as Mason Edwards, Grant Govel and Andrew Johnson all three won their starts to help USC get off to its best start since 2015.
The Trojans' weekend starters did collectively give up their first run of the season but only combined to give up one while striking out 28 over 17 innings. USC's bats didn't have the same proficiency as they tallied only 13 runs on 18 hits over the three-game series, but they did enough to put the Trojans in position to stay unbeaten this season.
Shotgun and Kasey break down all the action and look forward to the upcoming matchups after they talk with USC assistant coach Sergio Brown, who talks about moving back into an on-field instruction role after being the director of player development the last three years for the Trojans.
Brown also discusses the success of USC's pitchers, the Trojans' freshman class that is already providing key contributions and the impact getting Kevin Takeuchi back in the lineup has had after he missed much of last season with injury.
