Bulls Drop Second Straight to WVU in Offensive Slug Match

The Bulls battled WVU in a huge offensive performance by each team, but failed to get the win in the second game of the series, falling 8 to 10 and dropping their record to 33-20 (16-10) on the season. 

Derrick Stultz was chased early in this game.  He went 1.2 innings, allowing 5 hits, 6 runs, striking out 2.  Joey Lovecchio replaced him, working 3.2 innings, allowing 5 hits, 2 runs, and struck out 2.  Nick Gonzalez went 2 innings, allowing 1 hit, 1 run, 1 walk, and struck out 1.  Steven Leasure got two outs and walked one batter.

The offense had a strong performance, rebounding after the bad start by Stultz to tie the game up late.  Kyle Teaf went 1 for 5 with his first career home run.  Jimmy Falla went 2 for 3 with 3 RBI.  Alex Mendez went 3 for 4 with a double and scored 2 runs.  Luis Llerena went 2 for 4 with a double and scored a run.  James Ramsay went 2 for 4 and scored 2 runs.

The Bulls play tomorrow at 1PM as they look to avoid the sweep heading into the Big East tournament (yeah, avoiding the sweep to one of the lower teams in the conference, yikes).
