Ty Young (Louisville)

Two of Thursday’s more noteworthy games involving CB360 top-50 teams were head-to-head matchups that produced matching rarities: as Louisville 3B/3-hole hitter Ty Young tripled twice in the series-opening win vs. visiting Notre Dame (in back-to-back innings no less, vs. different pitchers) before San Diego CF/8-hole batter Louie Lechich had his own rare “double triple” game, while playing a key role in USD’s upset of visiting (3) Oregon State (which entered the game 21-2). The Toreros are 39th in the current CB360 top-50 while Louisville’s game vs. Notre Dame was a top-20 showdown (16 vs. 17)between BIG EAST contenders.

Louie Lechich (San Diego)

Arizona State (cb360 #31) joined USD in knocking off a CB360 top-10  team, as the Sun Devils posted a 4-1 home win over (7) UCLA. Thursday’s other CB360 top-50 upsets included the following:
• Texas 8-5 at (25) Oklahoma State
• at UC Riverside 4-3 vs. (26) UC Irvine
• at Loyola Marymount 7-4 vs. (29) Gonzaga
• Seton Hall doubleheader sweep vs. visiting (46) Connecticut, 4-3 in 11 innings and 3-0

In addition to three games mentioned above (USD-Oregon State, Louisville-ND and ASU-UCLA), Thursday’s other head-to-head battle between CB360 top-50 teams saw (15) South Carolina beat visiting (27) Texas A&M, 3-2.
