McElroy pitched 6.1 innings while only allowing 3 runs (2 earned) while striking out three batters and walking only one. Bryan Shaw picked up the save by pitching a perfect 1.1 innings. USC starter Brad Boxberger picked up the loss and gave up 4 runs (none earned) in five innings. Long Beach State was led at the plate by a 2-4 performance from Jason Tweedy while USC was led by Hector Estrella who hit a home run. The teams are back at it tomorrow over at USC to finish the three game set.
