Pirates Drop Series Opener To Bulls
April 01, 2022 | Softball
GREENVILLE, N.C. – Georgina Corrick tossed six shutout innings Friday evening to lead South Florida to a 9-0 victory over East Carolina in the opening game of an American Athletic Conference series at Max R. Joyner Family Stadium.
Â
The win was the first in league play for the Bulls (29-10, 1-3 AAC) after they were swept at home by UCF last weekend. The Pirates fall to 18-16 and 2-2.
Â
Corrick (23-2) struck out 11 batters and walked one in the victory while Madisyn Davis (6-3) surrendered five runs (two earned) on three hits in 1.1 innings of work.
Â
Alexis Johns paced the visitors with three hits to go along with a four-RBI performance from Dezarae Maldonado. Sophie Wools recorded the only hit for ECU.
Â
South Florida plated a single run in the top of the first before Maldonado drew a bases-loaded walk in the top of the second to make it 2-0. Johns then tallied a RBI single to push the Bulls' lead to three and Meghan Sheehan added a two-run single to leave USF ahead 5-0 through two complete.
Â
Maldonado capped the scoring in the top of the seventh with a three-run home run.
Â
Up Next: East Carolina and South Florida play game two of the series Saturday at 2 p.m.
