USF baseball begins a big series tonight as they travel to Louisville to take on the Cardinals for a 3-game set. The Bulls got a nice win over 18th ranked Stetson on Tuesday night. A combination of strong pitching and timely hitting got the job done and helped USF get back to .500 on the season, now at 18-18 (7-5).
The Bulls currently sit in 5th place in the conference and are only 3 games behind UCONN, but they are only two games away from the bottom of the conference as well so this series against Louisville come be a breaking point in the season.
Louisville is reeling a bit right now, losing 6 straight games and sit at 6-6 in the conference and eager to get back to winning.
Randy Fontanez will get the start in game one tonight at 6 PM, but the rest of the rotation is still undecided at this point. With Reed inconsistent and Gonzalez throwing batting practice to opponents, Prado will have to find the right arms to send out this weekend if the Bulls want to get some wins and improve their conference record and avoid the bottom, a place they could easily end up at if they don't take 2 games this weekend.
USF will play Friday night at 6 PM and wrap up the series Saturday afternoon at 1 PM (no game on Sunday due to Easter). This is a must win series for USF, if they want to stay alive in the conference and have an outside shot at the postseason, they need to take at least 2 games here.
