How sweep it is. The Bulls, needing to sweep UCONN today to advance to the Big East title got unreal pitching as they advance to play on Sunday for the Big East title.
In the first game of the double header too the match 1 to 0; USF got a tremendous start from Derrick Stultz. The senior went the distance, working all 9 innings, allowing just 3 hits while striking out 4 batters and walking 2. The Bulls only had two hits in the game, both from Jimmy Fall who was 2 for 3 with a solo home run that proved to be the game winning shot back in the 3rd inning. The game ended on a tremendous play by Mendez racing to catch a fly ball (USF improved to 36-24 on the season at that stage).
The Bulls were able to take game 2 2 to 1 as the pitching continued to keep the Huskies off the scoreboard (now 37-24). Nick Gonzalez got the start. He worked 6 innings, allowing 4 hits, 1 runs, walking 1 and struck out 8 batters. Austin Adams replaced him and worked 2 scoreless innings. Steven Leasure worked the 9th, allowing just 1 hit. The offense did just enough to get the win. Jimmy Falla was 2 for 3 and scores a run and Andrew Longley went 1 for 3 as well.
The Bulls will now face St. Johns tomorrow at noon as they look to take the Big East tournament title. USF is playing at an unreal level right now and needs just one more win tomorrow to reach a goal.
