But USF continued their hot hitting, posting two, five-run innings, in the fourth and seventh, while putting up two runs in the sixth, to take the 15-1 victory.

The Rainbows will now head down to San Jose, Calif., for their season-ending series at San Jose State from Friday, May 19, to Sunday, May 21.
