"The Bulls overcame a 4-0 deficit early in the second game, taking a 5-4 lead after putting up five runs in the third inning. The Blue Demons got two back in the bottom of the fourth to regain the lead, 6-5. Then came a rain delay of a little over an hour, and after play resumed it was all DePaul. They scored four in the 5th inning and finished the game with three in the 6th to trigger the run rule, winning 13-5.

There were four players hit by pitches in that second game, which may have led to the bizarre incident that ended the series early today. Trailing 1-0, coach Ken Eriksen suddenly pulled his team off the field, leading to a forfeit (the first for any USF team since volleyball forfeited a game back in 2001).

Everyone's favorite USF superfan Doc was at the game, and here's his explanation of what happened:

Strange stuff here. It looks like we just forfeited the game. DePaul's coach was accused of threatening to have their pitcher hit one of our girls. Ken then pulled our players off the field, packed our stuff, and walked off. Top 2nd. Game over. Unbelievable.

So yeah, that just happened. Toro reminds us over Twitter that Eriksen and DePaul coach Eugene Lenti have a bit of a history with each other, and maybe this reared its head again. Personally if Lenti is threatening to plunk USF players, I think it's just another example of why the league needs to #BootDePaul. YOUR BEST SPORT IS SOFTBALL.

Wait... ours might be too? Dammit."

(Earlier in that article it notes that KS had a 2-run double in a 4-2 USF win. She's hitting .296 with 6 homers and 42 RBI.)

My USF "stringer" reported that KS was playing 3b and Lenti accused her of stealing signs and threatened to have her beaned her next at bat ... that's when Eriksen pulled his team !!!
BTW - Anyone notice that the past half-dozen games or so, LG has been hitting out of the clean-up spot for Tennessee !!!

Yet, she is virtually ignored by the commentators of games. The girl deserves some recognition and she isn't getting it. Raven C. is a great player, but so is LG and Raven gets a TON more attention.

As far as Lenti thinking the 3rd baseman was stealing his signs, so what? Do you mean to tell me no one else has ever done that?

Agree on both !!!
There was a play where a Fla player was called out at second. The "crew in the booth" said she slid into the SS who made the tag. Three times they showed the play on replay and they kept saying the same thing ... all the while, LG is standing there with the ball after she made the tag.lol
They did mention in passing that LG leads the team in BA for SEC games !!!

It goes on all the time. Most teams have four sets of hitting signals, just change them. Why would a coach ever tell a player of his intentions to have her thrown at, did he think that would get her not to look? Too silly!
