USF Sweeps Double Header

The USF Bulls continued their impressive start to the season, sweeping the double header today at home against Penn State and Virginia Tech. 

The ladies won game one 7 to 0 over Penn State thanks to the arms of Sara Nevins and the bat of Stephanie Medina.  Nevins went 6 innings, allowing 6 hits, and struck out 8 as she dominated the game. Sam Greiner worked the 7th, allowing one hit and struck out one. Stephanie Medina went 2 for 2 with two 3-run home runs (6 RBIs on the day) her first two long balls of the season.  Ashli Goff went 2 for 3 with a steal and Janine Richardson went 3 for 3 with an RBI as well. 

The Bulls got into a pitching duel against Virginia Tech, but a home run by Kenshyra Jackson and Janine Jackson gave the Bulls the 2 to 0 win and helped them improve to 17-4 on the season.  Lindsey Richardson went 1.2 innings, walking 1 and struck out 3.  Sam Greiner went 2.1 innings, striking out two and Sara Nevins went 3 innings, walking one and striking out 3 as all three pitchers helped throw a combined no-hitter against the Hokies, incredible efforts by everyone out there. 

USF is on a roll now, but has a lot of work to do this weekend.  They face Central Connecticut at 4:15 tomorrow followed by an exhibition game against the Netherlands at 6:30.  The Bulls beat the national team last year 2 to 1 and will look to use it as another learning experience in the start of the season.
