SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – Competing in the first of three games to wrap up the 2023 collegiate baseball season, the USF Dons baseball team (17-28, 7-18) couldn't get going in their opener against the Portland Pilots (27-20, 16-9) as they fell short by an 9-2 final score on Thursday afternoon at Benedetti Diamond.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:
- The visiting Pilots were able to get off to a quick start on Thursday as they plated three runs in the top of the first to take the early lead.
- USF was able to answer back in the bottom of the second as Patrick Keighran drove a hanging breaking ball in an 0-2 count over the wall in left field to cut the deficit down to 3-1.
