Bulls Sweep Big Green Behind Four-Run Seventh 

USF came alive late again with four runs in the seventh to secure its second sweep of the year

TAMPA, FLA., MARCH 17, 2019 – Trailing in the seventh, the USF baseball team scored all of its runs and held on for 4-1 win over Dartmouth to secure its second series sweep of the year.

 

The Bulls (11-7) were held without a hit until the sixth inning. The Big Green (4-7) made USF work and play from behind, scoring on four hits in the first inning. Dartmouth maintained the 1-0 edge until USF got something going in the seventh.

 

Consecutive singles by Tyler Dietrich (Naples, Fla.) and Alex Bello (Miami) put two on with one out. Junior Jordan Santos (Tampa) delivered with a two-RBI single to right, giving the Bulls their first lead.

 

With the bases loaded, junior Austin Bodrato (Northvale, N.J.) hit his own two-RBI single, making it 4-1. Junior lefty Noah Yager (Davie, Fla.) cruised over the final 5.0 innings and did not allow Dartmouth to answer, as he allowed just one hit during the outing.
