TAMPA (April 25, 2024) – The University of South Florida Bulls continue a season-long eight-game homestand with a three-game set against the Florida Atlantic Owls at USF Baseball Stadium.
It will be a pivotal weekend series in a tightly-bunched AAC race. South Florida, Florida Atlantic Tulane and Wichita State each enter the weekend tied for fourth place. They sit one game behind Charlotte (8-7) and four back of UTSA and ECU (11-4) who are tied atop the conference standings. Memphis and Rice (6-9) are just one game back of the fourth-place teams.
USF will travel to ECU and UTSA next month. The Bulls will wrap up conference play at home against UAB (5-10) on May 16-18.
The Bulls enter the weekend against the FAU Owls looking to snap a season-long four-game losing streak. The Bulls entered their current homestand 15-6 in ballgames in Tampa, but have dropped the first four games of the stand.
The homestand will conclude on Tuesday, April 30 against Stetson before USF begins a seven-game road swing.
