Corrick Reaches 20th win, 200th Strikeout in Bulls’ Fourth Straight Sweep

DATE: April 19, 2019

USF won its 12^th straight conference game, fourth straight sweep against UConn

STORRS, Conn., April 19, 2019 – Sophomore Georgina Corrick struck out 13 batters in her 20^th win this season, the Bulls’ 12^th straight conference win and fourth straight sweep.

Sophomore pitcher Georgina Corrick needed just four strikeouts to reach her 200^th of the season, and she soared to that feat in just two innings. The British National Team pitcher struck out two batters in the first, and three in the second to surpass that mark. With her 209 strikeouts this season, she ranks eighth in program history in a single-season. She now has 373 career strikeouts, placing her at ninth in the career strikeout records as a sophomore. With today’s shutout win, Corrick is also tied for eighth in career shutouts (11) with Cristi Ecks.

For the third game in a row, USF jumped ahead early and scored one in the first inning. Senior Lindsey Devitt (Jacksonville, Fla.) bunt singled and scored unearned when redshirt sophomore Bethaney Keen (Bradenton, Fla.) reached on an error.

Quotable:

Head coach Ken Eriksen on the win…

“Corrick.”
