Fresno State Ties USC Record

The Trojans didn't even make the postseason this year in baseball, but they did experience some movement in the record books.

This year's title was won by Fresno State, being called by many the biggest underdog to win an NCAA championship -- in any sport. The Bulldogs scored 62 runs over the course of the College World Series, tying USC's record from exactly a decade ago. Until yesterday, the Trojans were also tied for second most runs in a CWS with 54 in 1995.

Also, Fresno's Steve Detwiler slugged two homers last night. The last person to do that in a championship series was USC's Robb Gorr in 1998 when the Trojans downed Arizona State, 21-14.

Adam Rose learned about the highs and lows of USC athletics while going to school. As a freshman, he watched the football team crash to the bottom of the Pac 10. By the time he was a senior, he was in the stands for a National Championship. In between, he liked to argue points as a member of the Trojan Debate Squad. Nowadays, he's just looking to tell a good story. He is currently Sports Editor for LAist, where he covers a wide range of local action. He can also be seen weekly on KNBC 4's News Raw. Adam manages special events in the sports community when he isn't participating himself (he staggered through the LA Marathon and can often be found on local soccer fields). If you have a question about the Trojans or just want to give him a piece of your mind, email: adam@laist.com.
