It was all Tigers Sunday as Jackson State avoided a series sweep with a 19-5 win, Sunday afternoon at Jackie Robinson Ballpark.

Jackson State put up six runs in the top of the second off B-CU starter Daniel Gaviria on six hits with a pair of B-CU errors. They added two more unanswered in the fourth on a two-run homer that made it 8-0. 

The Wildcats broke through for a run in the bottom of the fourth as Manny Souffrain scored on a Jackson State throwing error.

The Tigers added three in the fifth to make it 11-1, but B-CU staved off a seven-inning run rule as Manny Souffrain's towering homer to right cut the deficit to 11-3. 

B-CU scored runs in the seventh and eighth but Jackson State posted a run in the eighth and seven in the ninth to erase all doubt as they closed the 19-5 win. 

Daniel Gaviria dropped to 3-3 on the year after 3.1 innings in which he allowed eight runs - five earned - on 11 hits with five strikeouts.

Seven Wildcats combined to finish the game out of the bullpen. 



USF defeated B-CU, 6-5 back on March 26. The Wildcats loaded the bases on the bottom of the ninth on an error and two two-out walks, but a strikeout ended B-CU's hopes of completing the comeback. The Wildcats stranded ten runners in the loss. 

In seven games since, the Bulls are 4-3. USF dropped two of three to Charlotte, as well as a 19-9 midweek decision to Stetson on April 2 before rebounding with a sweep of Wichita State last weekend. 



Tuesday marks the 30th meeting all-time between USF and B-CU. The Bulls hold a 20-9 advantage in the all-time series.
