USC leads the all-time series 87-49.
ASHWORTH LEADING THE OFFENSE
Kyle Ashworth is one of the Dirtbags' leaders in 2025. Over the past six games, dating back to the start of the Cal State Bakersfield series, Ashworth is hitting .500 (12-24) with seven RBI. He has posted a .667 slugging and a .586 on-base percentage during that span.
The graduate student is leading the team in hitting (.346), runs scored (31 with Alex Champagne), hits (44), doubles (9), triples (2), total bases (63), and on-base percentage (.484). He has not committed an error in 79 chances (76 PO-3A).Â
In league-only play, Ashworth is hitting .416, the third most in conference-only games.
