    LOS ANGELES - Logan Odom threw a complete-game three-hitter Sunday as the USC Trojans defeated the No. 6 Arizona State Sun Devils, 6-2, to win the Pac-10 Conference series at Dedeaux Field. It was the first time that USC has won a series against Arizona State since 2004.

    Odom allowed two runs (one earned) with three walks and three strikeouts for USC (20-27, 10-11) while Brandon Garcia and Alex Sherrod both hit a two-run homer for the Trojans. During his start, Odom retired 13 consecutive batters until an error with two outs in the top of the ninth.

    Arizona State (36-13, 14-7) got an RBI groundout from Riccio Torrez for the 1-0 lead in the third, but the Trojans responded as Alex Glenn tied it in the bottom half of the inning with an RBI single to right. Matt Newman reached on an error by USC shortstop James Roberts and later scored on Xorge Carrillo's single. USC came back again when Garcia belted his second homer in as many days for the go-ahead 3-2 score in the fourth.

    Joe De Pinto doubled in the seventh, followed by Sherrod's two-run shot to right off Trevor Williams as Kevin Roundtree capped the scoring in the eighth with an RBI single.

    USC travels to UC Irvine for a non-conference game on Tuesday (May 17) at 6:30 p.m. before a Pac-10 Conference series at Oregon State, Friday-Sunday (May 20-22). Friday's game in Corvallis starts at 5:35 p.m. with a 2:05 p.m. start on Saturday and 12:05 p.m. start on Sunday. All four games will be broadcast live (audio only) on usctrojans.com with Saturday's game against Oregon State televised on ROOT Sports.

    Note: Alex Sherrod is now tied with Ricky Oropesa for the team lead this season with six home runs.
