GoUSFBulls.com Bulls Host UNF, Battle FGCU on Road

[Brad]

They've won a number of games after being down and some with walk-offs.  

I  enjoy the streak.

But remember, stay with the team.  It won't be perfect the rest of the way.

While it is exciting let's dial it back a notch.  Our hitters looked pretty lost vs their starter.  Don't know who that kid was but pitching on Tuesday night was in the low 90's the first 3 innings with his fastball and had some cutter or slider that was baffling the guys.   Things got better once we got into their bullpen.

This isn't their first come from behind victory in the final three frames of a game, they have the ability to turn it on. As for their starter, maybe the UNF manager took the @charsibb school of roatation butchering to get their best guy out there?

Softball last year had 20-something that felt like it would never end.

Trying to dial in to that game...it was weird when I played Men's fastpitch and I find W Softball sort of a weird game too.  Tryng to get into it.  Nonetheless have the greatest respect for Coach Ericksen and his teams.  Just not that close.

When I first read these 2 I thought you were saying Cavallaro walked the bases loaded on his own.  I realized that you meant he walked 2 that inning.  I was pretty sure Farley started the inning.

That is correct. After a walk by Farley there was a runner on first and second and that's when they turned to Joe who proceeded to walk the next two. The second batter had a 3-0 count and he fought back to 3-2, the pay-off pitch was a booooooorderline ball.

We sit right behind the plate.  Jonathon Kosco's dad still comes to the games. He looks over to me for yay or nay on calls he thinks are wrong.  Early in the game I thought the ump was pretty good.  Some pitches that looked pretty good to me I'm guessing he thought were low and called them balls.  As the game went on he started calling the same pitches strikes. You want consistency from these guys.

I get that Bourbon  and I usually side on being cautious. However, this team showed incredible  resiliency as they had to come back during a night where they did not get as many hits as usual.  To me, this shows they can win even if they were having a tough game. Which is good because all of their games of been a bit of a blowout.

Haven't followed the baseball real close but they won at FSU after having a tough game and thought there were other games like that also so they've been kind of showing that resiliency before this one, haven't they?

The FGCU release on our game with them today.

Interestingly, we have never beaten them in Tampa, but have a winning record against them at their park.

SERIES HISTORY
FGCU holds a 10-4 advantage in the all-time series with the Bulls, but USF has gotten the best of the Eagles in four of seven games in Fort Myers.

Cincinnati beat Louisville this evening, but Missouri is up on Arkansas - Little Rock 8-4 in the top of the 5th, the game in Columbia.

Way to go Bearpussies!!

Mizzou won, but they have a tough in-conference homestand against Arkansas this weekend. Very likely to drop one.
