USF loses; going for DiMaggio

USF split the season series against the UCF Knights as the Knights won the fourth game of the series 9-5 in what was their first game without former head coach Jay Bergmann. The Bulls are now 25-22 overall, the Knights are 29-21.
Ryan Lockwood extended his hitting streak to 28 games as he continues his pursuit of history. Don't bother asking him about it though, he won't utter a word. But USF coach Lelo Prado will.
"He's the kind of guy you want up in a pressure situation, he plays consistent from the first inning to the last pitch," said Prado.
Lockwood is obviously not going for DiMaggio's record of 56 consecutive games with a hit, but he is going for Robin Ventura's 1987 58-game hitting streak, which currently stands as college baseball's D-I all-time record for consecutive games with at least one hit in a game.
