The South Florida Bulls baseball team defeated the Central Florida Golden Knights 8-7 in the AAC Tournament championship game on Sunday at BayCare Ballpark in Clearwater to clinch a spot in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2018.
USF jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead in the first when right fielder Daniel Cantu hit a two-out, two-run home run—his second of the tournament, and seventh of the year. Cantu finished 3-for-4 with a home run, and three RBI.
The Bulls tacked on four more runs in the second inning thanks to timely hitting, and poor defense by the Knights.
