Dedeaux Download: USC season ends in heartbreaking walk-off defeat in Pac-12 Tournament championship

Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith return on the Dedeaux Download Podcast to wrap up the Pac-12 Tournament, breaking down USC baseball's run to the championship game, battling to make the title game against regular-season champ Arizona. The Trojans needed a win to take the final Pac-12 title and the NCAA tournament automatic bid, but ultimately they ran out of gas, watching a 3-0 lead and a Caden Aoki no-hitter disappear in the final three innings before ultimately falling to the Wildcats on a walk-off winner that featured a bang-bang play at the plate.
The Trojans got excellent starting pitching each of their four games, led by Aoki's masterpiece in the championship and William Watson earning himself some money with the best start of his short USC career.
They fought through close games, rallying to beat Utah's career saves leader Micah Ashman before having to hold off Oregon and Cal with both getting late opportunities with the tying run at the plate.
Shotgun and Jack break down all the action from the week in Scottsdale and take a brief look forward at what USC's final push this season will do for the program in the future.
