DaShawn Keirsey, Jr. is among the league leaders in hits and runs scored in Pac-12 games.
Overall, the Utes are second in the Pac-12 with 27 double plays and rank 13th in the country in double plays per game (1.08). Utah pitchers have surrendered just nine home runs, tied for third-fewest in the Pac-12. Rose leads the Pac-12 with 55 strikeouts overall.
USC is 13-14 overall and 3-3 in the Pac-12. The Trojans went 1-2 against Stanford last weekend and beat Pepperdine in 10 innings on Tuesday night.
