ORLANDO (March 1, 2024) – The University of South Florida Bulls (4-4) had the undefeated UCF Knights (7-0) on the ropes Friday night in the opener of a three-game weekend series, but were unable to put the home team away in a 3-2 loss in 10 innings.
Hunter Mink (Palm Harbor) turned in the sixth quality start of his career, and first of the season, in a no decision. Mink allowed one run on four hits with seven strikeouts over 6.0 IP.
Two-way standout Bryce Archie (Powder Springs, Ga.) was charged with the loss, but did a masterful job escaping a jam when he entered the game in the ninth inning, in just his second collegiate outing, and forced the game into extra innings before the Knights plated the winning run in the 10th.
