The Bulls continued their offensive hit parade with 13 hits in the second game of the double-header with the Huskies.
USF used small ball to put the first run on the board as Ryan Lockwood reached on a base hit then moved to second on a sac bunt by Jonathan Koscso and to third after a ground out from Todd Brazeal. Senior Chris Rey singled through the left side to plate Lockwood, his third RBI of the two-game day.
UConn tied the game in the fourth with a triple from Peter Fatse and a double off the bat of Mike Nemeth.
The Bulls regained the lead in the top of the fifth with a pair of hits and two players reaching base after being hit by pitches. With one out, Lockwood singled and Koscso was hit by a pitch, then both picked up stolen bases to move into scoring position. A single from Brazeal drove in both baserunners and gave USF the 3-1 lead.
In the sixth, Connecticut cut the margin to one after Pierre LePage reached on a fielding error by Sam Mende then Nemeth doubled to left field to score UConn's second run.
In the bottom of the sixth the Bulls loaded the bases with a pair of hits from Junior Carlin and Lockwood and a HBP from Koscso, but were unable to score any runs.
Koscso led the ninth with a long home run over the 365 fence in left field, his first-career bomb at USF. The Bulls then loaded the bases as Brazeal and Smith picked up base hits and Consolmagno drew a walk. With one out, Carlin sent a sacrifice fly to left to score Brazeal, then Smith was thrown out on a double steal attempt from he and Consolmagno.
