USC Trojans Baseball on Upward Trend
USC baseball is trending in the right direction. After missing out on the NCAA Tournament from 2016-2024, the Trojans have now made it to the big dance the past two seasons. The last two years, USC has fallen just short of making it to the Super Regional, losing in the regional championship both times. 2026 was especially excruciating.
After beating the host North Carolina in game one of the best of three regional championship, USC fell in game two to set up a winner-take-all game three. USC found themselves up late with a lead.
Going into the bottom of the ninth inning, they held a 3-1 lead. If they were to close the deal, they would advance to their first Super Regional since 2005. They weren't able to get it done. North Carolina rallied from behind and walked off the Trojans in the bottom of the ninth inning to end USC's season.
Overall, it was still a successful season for USC. They went 48-18 overall with a Big Ten conference record of 20-10. They finished tied for third place in the conference with the Oregon Ducks.
Heading into 2027, USC will look to take another step forward and make the Super Regional. From there, they would have the opportunity to make the College World Series after a drought that dates back to 2001.
USC has one of the most successful baseball programs in the country. They have won the national championship 12 times and have made the College World Series 21 times. However, the last time they made the CWS was in 2001 and the last time they won it all was in 1998.
