The Bulls (23-13, 6-5 The American) again jumped out to a first inning lead on a Chris Chatfield(Riverview, Fla.) double down the right field line, scoring Coco Montes (Miami) and David Villar(Pembroke Pines, Fla.). The Pirates (26-8, 5-3 The American) landed their first blow in the bottom of the third on a three-run homer by Jake Washer, making it 3-2. But USF answered, retaking the lead in the top of the fourth. After a pair of singles put runners at the corners,Garrett Zech (Naples, Fla.) reached on a fielder’s choice, allowing JD Dutka (Suwanee, Ga.) to score from third. A balk moved Zech to second and the speedster was brought home in the next at-bat, asTyler Dietrich (Naples, Fla.) singled to shallow center, putting the Bulls up 4-3. Following a 38 minute rain delay, USF added to the lead in the seventh on a solo home run that just made it over the right field wall off the bat of Villar. ECU got to within one, adding a run in the bottom of the eighth to make it 5-4. But Andrew Perez(Orlando) stymied the Pirates in the ninth, closing the door on the game and the series.

And there is a new dislike that has been born between the two teams. Their coach is very pissed about the Joe G bomb and how he talked trash. He's kinda of a whiner and definitely threw shade at USF's coaching staff. He was red-assed about losing that series. Said we'll see them again in Clearwater.

That's four good wins and non conference wins on top of that. Both are sitting pretty good in the Big 12 right now and that's a pretty deep conference.
