This game was a big comeback game for the Bruins, as they would be in a tough position against the Trojans. UCLA swept the Trojans in the season series, but in the Big Ten tournament, the Trojans brought their A-game and made the Bruins work for the comeback victory.
USC would take an early 3-2 lead in the fourth inning. In the bottom of the seventh inning, the Bruins would take back the lead after Dean West would hit a two-run shot to right field, giving the Bruins a 4-3 lead. However, in the top of the ninth inning, USC Issac Idenna would reach first on a fielder's choice, bringing in Adrian Lopez from third. Then Jack Basseer would hit a sac-fly to give the Trojans a one-run lead.
