With two outs in the fourth inning, USF rallied with three singles. The third single was an produced an RBI single off the bat of Dunbar and plated Caitlin Schneider to make the score 4-0.

Clean-up hitter JoJo Medina stepped up to the plate and slammed her second homerun of the day to score Toscano and Dunbar and notch the score at 7-0.

All totaled, the Bulls recorded 10 hits and six RBI against the Rams.

Medina went 2-for-2, with three RBI and scored two runs while drawing one walk. Dunbar finished a perfect 3-for-3 and scored one run for the Bulls.

Freshman pitcher Capri Catalano picked up her fifth win of the season to remain unbeaten on the mound. Catalano struck out seven and allowed three hits while shutting out the 29 batters faced.
