My man Ricky Oropesa got off to a fine start for the USC Trojans hitting a HR in the 9'th inning yesterday for the go ahead run as USC took the weekend series from Cal Poly SLO 2 games to 1. Unfortunately, there is a discrepancy between the boxscores and the season stats for Ricky. According the the boxscores he went 3 for 13 with a double, HR and BB. The stats have him at 4 for 13 with 2 doubles, HR, and BB. Either way, he's off to a fine start.
A few other college notes:
Stanford walloped Rice in a 3 game sweep. Rice's vaunted pitching was nowhere to be found.
New Mexico took 2 of 3 from Texas. One line that caught my eye from New Mexico was senior CF Max Willett going 7 for 11 with 2 doubles, a triple, HBP and SF. Impressive against one of the best pitching staffs in the country.
I'll give a shout out to UC Riverside catcher Rob Brantly who went 4 for 11, 2 HR's, BB, HBP over the weekend. Rob is listed as BA's #35 ranked college draft prospect for this year.
UCLA looked sharp in sweeping their games in the MLB Urban Invitational in LA. The Bruins look to have 3 solid starters in Cole, Bauer and Rasmussen.
Probably the best baseball of the weekend was the round-robin between CS Fullerton, Oregon, Pepperdine and Long Beach State. Christian Colon(4 for 13, HR, BB) and Gary Brown(6 for 14, 2B, 4 SB) had good weekends despite CS Fullerton losing 2 of 3 for the weekend. Oregon put itself on the baseball map with 2 wins against Fullerton and Long Beach State, while Pepperdine showed it is a force with great pitching from Cole Cook and Max Bywater followed by an 11-7 win over Oregon on Sunday.
