The Bulls were able to get a nice win last night with a 4 to 1 victory over UNF. USF is now 23-28 on the season (11-13) in Big East play. They finish the regular season non-conference schedule with a record of 112-15 and now turn all their attention to the upcoming series vs. Pittsburgh starting on Thursday night.

Matt Reed did an excellent job on the mound, going 5 innings, giving up 4 hits, 1 runs, walking 3 and striking out 4. He picks up the win to improve his record to 5-4 on the season. Nick Gonzalez pitched well in relief after struggling for the majority of the season and getting roughed up at times. He went 2 scoreless innings, giving up just 2 hits and striking out 2. Kevin Quackenbush was the hammer at the end of the game, going 1 inning, allowing 1 hit and striking out 2 to pick up his 12th save on the season.

The offense got the job done. Junior Carlin was 1 for 4 with an RBI. James Ramsay was 2 for 4 as he continues to pick up his game after being moved up in the batting order (great sign to see from a freshman). Todd Brazeal was 1 for 3 with an RBI but struck out twice (not the best sign, patience Todd).

This was a nice win for the Bulls as they now focus on Pittsburgh. This series against them is their season. The Bulls will need to win every game and hope Seton Hall stumbles as well for them to have a shot of making the Big East tournament. The Bulls will need your help, so come to the baseball stadium starting Thursday night and cheer them on as they hope they can keep their season alive.
