USC prepares to face Owen Hull in NCAA Super Regional matchup
Summary

USC will confront North Carolina in the NCAA Chapel Hill Super Regional. Key to the matchup is Tar Heels hitter Owen Hull, who is performing exceptionally well with a.372 average, seven home runs, and 79 RBIs this season. Hull's ability to drive in runs and get on base makes him a significant concern for USC, particularly if first base is open. The Trojans may need to consider intentional walks to avoid high-leverage situations with Hull at the plate. Both teams will have to weigh their options against strong offensive threats present in the lineup.
