Living on the edge

The USF baseball team lost the first game of a day-night doubleheader 8-1 and then blew a 3- lead in the ninth inning, losing the second game by the score of 4-3 in 10 innings.
Those two losses, coupled with Villanova and Rutgers splitting their doubleheader today, puts USF in a three-way tie for the last two spots in the Big East Tournament with the Wildcats and the Scarlet Knights with all three teams boasting a 10-13 conference record.
USF holds the tiebreaker over Rutgers at the moment, but Villanova trumps both teams due to its better overall record.
It's going to be a tense sunday in the Tristate area tomorrow afternoon. Rutgers needs to win to be in the top eight heading into next weekend, Villanova could practically punch a ticket winning tomorrow and USF is falling fast, so a win tomorrow for them would be a season saving one.
