TAMPA (February 24, 2022) – The University of South Florida Bulls continue their season-opening seven game homestand with a three-game set against Stony Brook this weekend at the USF Baseball Stadium.
The matchup will be the first-ever meeting between the Bulls and Seawolves.
South Florida will play 22 of its first 25 games at home in the 2022 season.
The Bulls opened the new campaign with a 1-2 record last weekend at the USF Invitational which saw perennial postseason squads UConn, Charlotte and Louisville visit Tampa. USF dropped its opener to UConn in extra innings, 5-4, before defeating Louisville, 8-4, and dropping the finale to Charlotte in eight innings, 8-3.
Carmine Lane, a Freshman All-American in 2021, paced the Bulls' offense with a .417 average, two extra-base hits, a home run and five RBI. Daniel Cantu also homered last weekend. Ben Rozenblum impressed in his USF debut with five hits over three games with three runs and a pair of RBI.
Head coach Billy Mohl (5th season) has announced Jack Jasiak as the Friday starter against Stony Brook, followed by Brad Lord, and TBD for Sunday. Jasiak tossed his 15th career quality start on opening day last weekend and Lord picked up the win in his start against Louisville.
