Bulls Welcome UNF Tuesday Night
USF is looking for revenge after the March 19^thloss to the Ospreys

TAMPA, April 15, 2019 – The USF baseball team hosts North Florida Tuesday in the first of four home games this week.  

The Bulls (15-19, 2-10 The American) are looking to gain some momentum heading into the last month of conference play with the first of four non-league games this week. USF dropped all three at Tulane over the weekend in New Orleans. 

Nota-Bulls

·   Senior first baseman Joe Genord (Lake Worth, Fla.) hit two homers in NOLA and is now in third on USF’s all-time list with 42 for his career. He’s hitting a team best .342 with 11 home runs and 32 RBI.

·   Freshman Alex Bello (Miami) has a nine game hitting streak.

·   USF has been bashing during midweek games this year, hitting .319 as a team in seven contests.

·   Genord is clubbing .640 with three doubles, five homers, 11 runs and 12 RBI, slugging an absurd 1.360 in those games. Classmate Kyle Phillips (Orlando) is hitting .469 in those games and .322 on the year. 

·   Redshirt sophomore Jake Sullivan (Tampa) is batting .355 over the last 10 games and junior Jordan Santos (Tampa) is batting .361.

The Matchup

The Bulls lead the series with the Ospreys, 10-8. The Bulls are 7-4 against UNF in Tampa and had won four-straight meetings in the series prior to March 19, when UNF won 7-2 in Jacksonville. Phillips, senior Garrett Zech (Naples, Fla.) and junior Austin Bodrato (Northvale, N.J.) all had two hits in the game. 

Know the Foe
The Ospreys (21-16, 7-5 ASUN) have won five of their last six games. Jay Prather leads the ASUN with a .395 average and the team with 35 runs and 25 RBI. Trace Norkus got the start against USF on March 19, allowing just two hits with five strikeouts in 4.0 scoreless innings. Prather and Tanner Murphy each had three hits.

Bulls Bits

Gotta give Mohl time to get guys in who fit his system. The guys playing now came in under Kingston and ran his system of trying to score more runs than they let up.
