, Henderson said "Did you see what Northridge did?" He was referring to the Matadors' NCAA-record 13 home runs Saturday.

"You seem scared already," Gillespie said to the junior right-hander, who would start Tuesday against Northridge.

But Tuesday, it was the Matadors who seemed overwhelmed as Henderson and the Trojans beat them 6-1 in front of 427 at Dedeaux Field Dedeaux Field is a college baseball stadium in Los Angeles, California, and the home field of the University of Southern California Trojans baseball team.

The loss was Northridge's second straight and third in 22 games this season.

Henderson, who was kidded by his teammates before the game that he wouldn't last past the first inning against the powerful Matadors, pitched into the ninth, allowing six hits and a run in the eighth as he improved to 2-0.

Robert Fick extended his hitting streak to 15 games with two of Northridge's seven hits Tuesday. He raised his team-leading batting average to .488. Grant Hohman also had two hits.

Junior right-hander Gary Stephenson started for the Matadors and got behind early when USC scored two unearned runs in the second inning. Stephenson (1-1) allowed nine hits and five runs in six innings.

The Trojans had seven extra-base hits, including a double and a home run by Paul Cruz, one of eight USC starters who entered the game hitting at least .400.
