TULSA, Okla. – Emily Watson recorded eight strikeouts, but USF hit two home runs to take game one of the three-game American Athletic Conference series with Tulsa, 3-1, on Friday evening at the Collins Family Softball Complex.
Shelby Estocado and Sarah Briers each doubled for the Golden Hurricane (25-16, 5-5), while Shannon Hughes, Mikayla Whitten, Haley Meinen and Rylie Spell each recorded hits for the home squad. Watson fell to 16-7 with the defeat after she allowed three runs on eight hits and a walk to go along with her eight strikeouts.
Meanwhile, Mia Fung and Lindsey Devitt supplied the offense for the Bulls (30-15, 8-2) as each player homered to back Georgina Corrick's effort in the circle. Corrick scattered six hits and allowed an unearned run to improve to 12-5 on the season.
Estocado legged out a double on a hit down the left-field line in the bottom of the first for TU, her 11th two-bagger of the spring. However, Corrick retired the side and would retire eight of the next nine Tulsa hitters.
USF got on board in the top of the third when Fung homered after Macy Cook's double for the 2-0 lead. An inning later, Devitt's solo shot to center field made it 3-0.
The Hurricane broke through in the bottom of the fifth when Briers laced a one-out double to the wall in left field. Whitten then singled up the middle and Briers scored when the throw home went to the backstop. The USF miscue allowed Whitten to move to second, but Corrick was able to escape any further damage.
TU had a pair of hits in the sixth, but could not cut into the 3-1 deficit and Corrick retired the side in order in the seventh to seal the 3-1 win for the Bulls.
The teams will meet for game two of the series on Saturday, April 14, at 2 p.m.
