TAMPA, MARCH 23, 2018 – The USF baseball team scored three runs in the eighth to trim a 6-1 lead, but ultimately dropped The American opener to UConn Friday night at home, 6-4.

It was a quick first inning for both sides, as the highly anticipated pitching matchup of lefty All-Americans Shane McClanahan (Cape Coral, Fla.) and Tim Cate went as scripted with five combined strikeouts.

In the second, the Huskies (11-7) got to McClanahan with a solo homer, the first earned run allowed by the ace all year. UConn would add one more before loading the bags with one out. Then Anthony Prato hit a grand slam to make it 6-0.

Rest of story

Shane got hit on early. Coach said he was too pumped up and only through fast balls which Uconn read well. Thankfully we did not go deep into the bullpen.

Let's hope this is a oneoff.  But I posted in an earlier thread concern about USF's performance in conference play not matching early season results.  Will try to get out to tonight's game but the Mrs is suffering horribly from allergies the past week or so. Being outdoors won't help.

As I said in another thread Tim Cate owns us.  Had a feeling we'd lose even with Shane on the mound.  Need to win tonight, our conference is no joke

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
