UCF embarrasses USF, bounces Bulls from AAC tourney

JOEY KNIGHT | Times

Roughly 16 hours after a controversial ninth-inning collapse against East Carolina in the American Athletic Conference's double-elimination tournament, USF returned to Spectrum Field presumably set for a re-boot.

It simply got booted instead.

UCF sophomore right-hander Chris Williams held the Bulls (41-17) hitless through nearly seven innings, and got a seven-run sixth inning from his offense in the Knights' 12-0 romp.

Fourth-seeded USF, which managed only two hits, learns its postseason destiny Monday during the NCAA selection show at noon on ESPN2.

"Frustrated by it, but we're in re-set mode at this point now," said Coach Mark Kingston, whose team squandered a two-run ninth-inning lead in Thursday night's 6-5 loss to No.
