When infielder Drew Swift stepped to the plate in the top of the fifth inning in Sunday’s road finale at USC, he worked himself into a 1-0 count before staying with a pitch on the outer half of the plate, spraying the ball to right field to help spark plug a four-run fourth inning.
He followed it up in the top of the ninth frame, this time, yanking a leadoff double on a frozen rope down the left field line, tallying his seventh extra-base hit and showing his ability to hit to all fields, while also displaying a little bit of pop with the bat.
