Bulls Triumph in 15 Innings, Extend Streak to 11

 

By TOM ZEBOLD

USF Senior Writer

 

TAMPA - Anthony Diaz produced the go-ahead hit in the 15th inning and No. 28 USF extended its season-high winning streak to 11 games with a 7-4 victory at UConn on Saturday.

 

Diaz’s RBI single sparked the three-run frame as USF (25-14, 9-2) sealed the series victory in Storrs, Conn. Kyle Teaf added an RBI sacrifice bunt in the inning and extended his on-base streak to 33 games with a bunt single in the 12th inning.

 

Outfielder Alex Mendez (1-0) became USF’s ninth pitcher of the day and got the win after throwing 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief. Saturday marked the third time in the past five games that USF has played at least 13 innings.

 

Diaz wound up going 3-for-7 with two RBIs and his first run-scoring hit helped USF go ahead, 4-3, in the top of the ninth inning. Jimmy Falla and Kyle Copack started the three-run inning with RBI singles.

Austin Lueck went 2-for-3 and Chris Norton went 2-for-4 to help USF collect 17 hits in its longest game of the season. Zac Gilcrease went 2-for-6 with an RBI and Nike Alfonso also went 2-for-6 as USF stayed ahead in the Big East standings.

 

USF starter Nick Gonzalez struck out two and gave up two earned runs on seven hits in six innings. The quality start comes one day after freshman Jimmy Herget gave up two runs in 7 2/3 innings of the Bulls’ 3-2 victory.

 

Sunday’s series finale is set for a noon start and USF wraps up a five-game road trip with a test at Florida 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Talk about finding a way to win. An OUTFIELDER getting the win in relief during a 15 inning game, ON THE ROAD?!?!?!

 

Yowza!

Exactly a win over UCONN is much more important.

You sure about that?

If we're going to get an at-large bid, wouldn't a road win over the Gators count more than a sweep over the Huskies (taking into account, of course, that we've already won the series)?

 

In any event, let's win BOTH!

Great win by the baseball team.  Beat UConn tomorrow, then we'll worry about the reptiles.

In terms of an at-large, then yes Florida would be bigger for the resume. But I think an at-large bid is a long shot right now without running the table in the regular season.

At this point, winning conference games to get the best seed possible is the focus, since that is our best chance to make the NCAA tournament.

But I do like your last idea....
