Trojans Prove Rude Guests, Win 7-3 at Mississippi State
USC beat Mississippi State on the strength of starter Steve Maxey's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a 7-3 win. USC reliever Logan Royal picked up the win to move to 2-0. Brian Burkey suffered the loss. The Trojans, at 13-6, lead by one game in their division.

USC used the timely hitting of Jeremy Leffew to capture the win. The left fielder socked a bases-clearing double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Trojans ahead, 7-3. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was an important one.

"If we keep hitting the ball well, the wins will pile up," said USC skipper Brian McCauley.
