TAMPA ? Junior JoJo Medina's' home run and a five-run third inning propelled the University of South Florida softball team (31-20 overall, 10-9 BIG EAST) past the Providence Friars (14-30 overall, 6-10 BIG EAST) by a score of, 6-1, in game one of a doubleheader on Friday afternoon.
The Bulls took an early one run lead in the bottom of the first on a Britta Giddens double, driving in Tara Toscano from first base. The seniors double is the 12th of the year and the 47th of her career.
Freshman Gina Kafalas led off the third inning with her first career double. Freshman Janine Richardson trotted down to first after a fourth ball to put runners at first and second.
Toscano followed with a single that moved Kafalas to third and score on a Friar throwing error. Giddens drove in Richardson, her second RBI of the day with a single up the middle.
Catcher Cat Olnick laid down a bunt that plated Toscano and set the table for Medina. The Tampa native stepped to the plate and sent a two-run homer over the left field fence to give the Bulls a 6-0 lead.
The Bulls tallied five hits in seven innings and moved above .500 in the BIG EAST conference with a 10-9 record.
Junior Kristen Gordon (8-4) earned the win tossing five innings, striking out two and not allowing a walk. Providence's Alicia Grosso received the loss lasting three innings and was charge with all six runs.
