Friday Results at Big Ten Tournament

There was only one game played at the Big Ten Tournament on Friday, in part because of the weather. The early game of the day featured a competition between USC and Washington in pool play. Below is a summary of the action.

Game 11: #4 USC 6, #5 Washington 5

USC and Washington both entered Friday’s showdown in need of a win. The Trojans raced out to a three-run lead, but the Huskies, led by their freshly-minted all-time home run leader in AJ Guerrero, battled back. Utilizing a five-run fifth inning, they carried a one-rune lead into the bottom of the ninth. As fate would have it, USC never gave in, and Adrian Lopez came up with a huge two-RBI double to walk it off for his team in grand fashion.
