Dedeaux Download Podcast: Previewing big road trip; Augie Lopez talks hot hitting

The Dedeaux Download Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and podcast co-host Kasey Kazliner breaking down USC baseball's bounce back series sweep of Iowa after a four-game losing streak and previewing the Trojans' big road series at Nebraska. They also talk with USC sophomore slugger Augie Lopez about his recent hot hitting after being challenged by head coach Andy Stankiewicz. In the first half of the show, Lopez talks about how he's developed into the Trojans' top power threat, hitting seven homers in his last 10 games, and how he's continued to progress and mature at the plate. He also discusses hitting well against UCLA and how the team responded to being swept by the No. 1 team in the nation. Lopez chats about why new Dedeaux Field is so special for the Trojans and why they're so intent on protecting it. He also talks about what they have to do to play better on the road, especially with a four-game road trip coming up this week. After a break, Shotgun and Kasey break down the Trojans' 3-1 week in the Three Up, Three Down segment, looking at the positives and negatives from the Iowa sweep following a loss at UC Santa Barbara. Shotgun and Kasey close out the show taking a look at where the Trojans' stand in the rankings and previewing a big weekend as USC heads to Nebraska to take on the second-place Huskers in an important series for the Big Ten standings as well as USC's potential to be a regional host in the postseason.
