DELAND (March 6, 2021) – The USF Bulls (6-3) extended their winning streak to six in a row on Saturday night with a 10-5 victory over Stetson University (10-2), and in the process, may have shown that their early-season offensive firepower is here to stay.
USF entered the three-game weekend series ranked 14th in the country in hits, 23rd in batting average and 27th in slugging. Stetson's pitching staff was ranked fourth in the country in ERA, and the Bulls have already secured a series win by defeating two of the Hatters' top three starting pitchers.
For the second straight day against Stetson, Drew Brutcher (Lakeland) and Roberto Pena (Caracas, Venezuela) homered, but the Bulls also manufactured plenty of offense without the longball, finishing the night with 16 hits while scoring runs in five of the first six innings of the game.
