The Bulls, 7-8, fell 5 to 1 on Friday night to FAU, extending their losing streak to 5 games as they continue to struggle during this stretch of the season.
FAU went ahead 4 to 0 in the top of the third inning and the USF offense just could not hit their way out of a paper bag in this opening game.
In the bottom of the 8th Carmine Lane hit a sac fly to get USF on the board, but it was still 4 to 1. FAU would get that run back in the top of the 5th and the Bulls would not have an answer in the bottom of the inning.
Jack Jasiak (2-2) pitched well again, going 7 innings, allowing 5 hits, 4 runs, walked just 1 and struck out 7. Joseph Sanchez relieved him, going 2 innings, allowing 2 hits, 1 run and struck out 3 batters. The Bulls were better on the mound in this game compared to their last outing against Stetson, but the offense just could not get it going in this game.
Drew Brutcher went 3 for 3 with the lone run scored. Brutcher has now hit safely in 14 of the first 15 games. Carmine Lane was 0 for 2 with a walk and drove in that lone USF runs. Bulls were 5 for 31 as a team at the plate.
The two teams will do this again tomorrow night at 6 PM in the second game of the three game series as the Bulls look to bounce back.
