USF softball: Bulls sweep double header against North Dakota

The Bulls, 8-6, won 13 to 4 in game one and 2 to 0 in game two of the double header against North Dakota, extending their winning streak to 5 games in a row.

The sweep also included a no hitter from Georgina Corrick!

In the first game, the Bulls won 13 to 4 (5 innings) to run their record to 7-6 on the year and winning streak to 4 games in a row.

USF would go down 2 to 0 before they opened it up in the bottom of the 2nd, scoring 7 runs to take the 7 to 2 lead. 

In the 3rd, Alexis Johns drove in two more runs to make it 9 to 2. Brooke Leistl then scored on an error to make it 10 to 2 followed by an RBI single from AnaMarie Bruni, making it 11 to 2. Bethaney Keen drove in another run to make it 12 to 2. In the 4th, Megan Pierro hit a home run, extending the lead to 13 to 2. ND would get two back in the top of the 5th but would get no closer.

Vivian Ponn (1-0) got the start, going 2 innings, allowing 4 hits, 2 runs, and struck out 2. Brittany Hook replaced her went 1.2 innings, allowing 3 walks. Lexie Kopko relieved her, going 1 inning, allowing 3 hits and 2 runs to close it out.

Georgina Corrick went 2 for 3 with 2 RBIs. Kyndall Williams continued her weekend with a 2 for 3 outing with an RBI and scored 2 runs. Pierro went 2 for 3 with the home run.

In game two, USF won 2 to 0 on a no hitter from Georgina Corrick.

USF would go ahead 2 to 0 in the first inning on RBI singles from Bethaney Keen and Brooke Hartman to put the Bulls ahead early. That would be it for the offense and that would be all Corrick needed for the 28th no hitter in program history.

Corrick (6-3) walked out 2 and struck out 13 in 7 innings of domination. 

Johns went 2 for 3 with a run scored and stole a base while Bruni went 0 for 3 but recorded another steal. Williams went 2 for 3 and Keen went 2 for 3 with an RBI. 

It was a great weekend for the Bulls as they continue to get back on track and work their way past .500.

USF will host UNF for a double header on Wednesday starting at 4 PM.
