The Bulls came into the weekend with a .500 record and riding the momentum of a big win over then #18 Stetson, but after two straight loses to Louisville, the Bulls finally got it going on Saturday afternoon with a 10 to 5 win.
The game, after major rain delays, finally got completed and the USF offense woke up. The game was close until Andrew Longley blasted a grand slam to put the Bulls ahead for good. Junior Carlin was 2 for 4. James Ramsay was 2 for 6. Sam Mende had the biggest day going 4 for 6 and driving in 3 RBI. The offense, which had been held in check the first two games, was able to unload on the Cardinals pitching.
The USF pitching staff was able to get quality innings. Matt Reed started the game, but pitching only 2 innings before the rain delay, but still go the win and is now 3-3 on the year. Quackenbush pitched 2.2 innings, allowing only 1 hit as he continues his solid season.
The Bulls are now 19-20 (8-7) and sit still in 5th place. They will have a huge game on Wednesday night when they travel to take on #20 Miami and hope to get the season sweep from the Canes who are coming off of a loss to #10 UNC. The Bulls then return home for a 3 game series against St. John's, starting Friday at 7 PM, then Saturday at 7 PM and finishing on Sunday at 1 PM.
