It led to an extra-innings RBI double to push USC to a 4-3 win over UCLA in the Dodger Stadium College Baseball Classic on Sunday evening. USC starter Marrick Crouse struggled with his control, walking four and hitting another batter in 3 2/3 innings, but UCLA left five runners in scoring position in the first four innings. “[Crouse] was there to be had, but we couldn’t knock the door down,” UCLA Coach John Savage said. UCLA starting pitcher Jon Olson had been cruising, striking out eight and giving up only one hit through the first five innings. USC reliever Chris Clarke picked up his first collegiate win, striking out five and giving up only one hit in 5 2/3 innings.
