Highlights
- The American baseball teams suffered three midweek setbacks on Tuesday against nonconference opponents, including two top-25 teams. USF and No. 5 Florida State were locked at 1-1 through five innings, but the Seminoles scored four runs in the eighth inning to capture a 5-2 win. Infielder Chris Chatfield led the Bulls with two hits and a RBI. USF drops to 1-3 overall this season.
- Memphis scored four runs over the final five innings, but came up just short in a 8-6 loss to No. 9 Ole Miss Tuesday at Swayze Field. Third baseman Kyle O’Keefe had a big game at the plate, going 2-for-5 and hitting his first career home run. He finished with two RBIs.
- Stetson’s sole run in the third inning was the only score of the game, as UCF dropped its third straight contest in a 1-0 loss on the road. The Knights kept the Hatters without a hit through the final four innings and led 4-3 in hits, but the runs weren’t there.
- Houston's first Tuesday midweek game of 2018 will have to wait, as the contest at Sam Houston State was postponed due to inclement weather.
- ECU will head to Campbell tomorrow night, as The American prepares for a busy 27-game weekend.
