Pac-12

The loss was an upset on the part of USC, as the Bears were seeded higher going into the tournament and were last year’s regular season champions.

Cal will prepare to defend Levine-Fricke Field once more in a three-game series against the Oregon Ducks.

Cal, last year’s regular season conference champion, will face the winner of Wednesday’s matchup of the No. 7-seeded Oregon Ducks and No. 10-seeded Colorado Buffs on Thursday to kick off the postseason.

Although Cal lost the series to its Bay Area rival, the team reached 30 wins for the first time since 2018.

The regular season has come to a close, and now the No. 9 ranked Bears will try and continue their special season by making a run in the Pac-12 championships this week.

Though Cal had beaten Stanford two consecutive times, this time, the Cardinal took home the win, avenging their previous losses with a dominant performance that resulted in a final 6-1 score.

Cal heads to Palo Alto for a three-game series against the No. 8 Stanford Cardinal, which begins Friday.

With multiple Pac-12 honors and dominant statistics, the Vipers are getting a seasoned and talented athlete in Smith — and Cal has produced yet another “Pro Bear.”

Led by a stellar performance from star junior Kennedy Goss, Cal halted its five-game losing streak in a non-conference rivalry matchup versus UC Davis.

Cal’s visit to Eller Media Stadium secured its first three-game season series sweep of the season. The Bears have started to get back into their rhythm after being on the receiving end of a sweep.
