TAMPA (March 7, 2023) – The University of South Florida Bulls wrap up a four-game homestand with a single game against the Pitt Panthers on Tuesday night at USF Baseball Stadium. South Florida has won seven straight meetings in the series.
The Bulls are coming off a three-game sweep at the hands of the Northeastern where the offense produced 19 runs, but the pitching struggled to keep the slugging Huskies in check. Eric Snow, Bobby Boser, John Montes, Daniel Cantu and Drew Brutcher each batted .333 or higher in the weekend series. Snow, a freshman, belted his first collegiate home run on Saturday, a grand slam, and hit another grand slam on Sunday.
Over four games last week, Snow batted .538 (7-for-13) with two doubles, two homers and 10 RBI.
Brutcher and Cantu enter Tuesday riding eight-game hitting streak, while Montes has hit safely in seven straight. Boser has reached base safely in all 12 games to begin his sophomore season.
