Cade O’Leary closes it out with a scoreless 12th. Ended the game with a strikeout on the low-80s curveball.
FINAL/12: FSU 10, USF 1
FSU: 10 runs / 12 hits / 0 errors
USF: 1 run / 3 hits / 1 error
The most anticipated arm of the night for me from @USFBaseball was Wright State transfer JJ Thompson. Pitched mostly out of the bullpen for the Raiders last year and had 83 career strikeouts in 81 career innings.
Tonight in his first outing for South Florida, he goes and strikes out the side, striking out Brendan Lawson, Ethan Surowiec, and Nic Partridge, and got his fastball up to 92-93 tonight.
USF Jackson Mirza and Eli Thomas are two returners for @USFBaseball who have impressed me so far tonight. Thomas has singled and doubled into the gap, and Mirza has worked some solid at-bats, with a single into right field here in the fifth to add a run for USF.
Jack Lutz was a guy on last year's @USFBaseball squad who impressed me as a freshman. He was named to the American Conference All-Freshman team last year, and he just went deep against Oregon State transfer Zach Edwards.
He is someone for the South Florida Bulls I expect to have a breakout year.
