UConn Baseball got an extra-inning triumph over No. 23 USF off the bat of catcher Zac Susi, who hit a line-drive single for a 2-1 win in the 10th inning.
Third baseman Willy Yahn had the other UConn RBI and had two hits. Shortstop Anthony Prato and left fielder John Toppa each had multi-hit games.
It was a battle of two tremendous starting pitchers in UConn’s Tim Cate and South Florida’s Phoenix Sanders. Both left with no decisions but each put their respective team in position to grab a win in the series opener.
Cate dazzled as he pitched seven innings, allowing one run on six hits.
