Bulls Eliminated in WCWS, Falling 0 to 1 to LSU

The great season came to an end today, but it was a fun ride while it lasted.  The Bulls were beaten 0 to 1 by LSU in the elimination game of the WCWS and finish the season at 50-14. 

Sara Nevins was at her best in this game.  She went 5.2 innings, allowing just 2 hits, 1 run, 1 walk and struck out 6 batters.  The LSU Tigers got that lone run in the bottom of the 6th inning on a sac fly.  Richardson got the final out of that inning. 

The Bulls had their chances to get runs across, but couldn't get the clutch hit.  In the 5th inning, the Bulls had the Goff sisters at 2nd and 3rd, but failed to get them in (Fountain was out at home plate earlier in the game as well).  The Bulls managed just two hits in the game (Kafalas and Nowell with singles).  Ashli Goff had 3 walks in the game and stole a base as well.  The game came to an end with hitters interference called on Kafalas as she attempted to bunt. 

What a year for the Bulls.  While the loss stings, it can not take away how much this group of young ladies accomplished on the field.  They made history and rewrote the record books at USF.  We all congratulate the ladies on the tremendous effort, heart, and sacrifice they put on this season.  Can't wait for next year.

USF Faces LSU in Elimination Game

This is it.  FEED THE MOUSE!

Do or die time. The USF Bulls (50-13) lost their first game of the WCWS to Oklahoma 1 to 5 and now they face elimination against LSU who lost their opening game to the top seeded Cal team 3 to 5.  Both sides will be looking to continue their seasons in this do or die game, so anything can happen (game slated to start at noon). 

Big Bats of Oklahoma Too Much as Bulls Drop First Game of WCWS

The Bulls, playing in their first ever WCWS game, jumped out to a 1 to 0 lead over Oklahoma in the 4th inning, but it wasn't enough in the end as the Sooners brought out the bats and beat USF 5 to 1 to take the opening game to the WCWS (USF now 50-13 on the season).

USF Softball Headed to Softball World Series

Plenty of reasons to smile as the Bulls head to the college world series. 

History has been made.  The USF Bulls, after dropping the game last night, came back to sweep the two games today and punch their tickets to the college world series (USF now 50-12 on the year). 

In the first game, the Bulls were able to win 2 to 1.  Lindsey Richardson went 4 innings, allowing 2 hits, 2 walks, and fanned 5 batters.  Sara Nevins took over after her, working 5 innings, allowing 3 hits, 1 run, 1 walk, and struck out 8 batters.  Kenshyra Jackson was 1 for 4 with an RBI.  Kourtney Salvarola was 0 for 3 and scored a run for the Bulls as they avoided elimination and forced a final game against Hofstra. 

The Bulls took the field in game two and were able to win 2 to 1.  Lindsey Richardson went 1.1 innings, allowing 2 hits and struck out 1 batter.  Sara Nevins once again replaced her and worked 5.2 innings, allowing 3 hits, 1 run, walking 4 and struck out 6 batters as she continued to show the nation she is one of the best pitchers in the country.  Stephanie Medina was 0 for 2 with an RBI.  Kourtney Salvarola was 2 for 3.  Kenshyra was 1 for 1 with an RBI to put the Bulls ahead for good. 

It's history.  USF is headed to Oklahoma City for the college world series.  Unreal.  This is huge for the team, congratulations to the ladies as they continue their tremendous season.
