USF, Cincy tied 1-1 in fifth inning

Where's all that offense? The winning team in each of the first seven games here at the Big East tournament has scored at least nine runs, but after four innings, USF and Cincinnati are tied 1-1 at Bright House Field on Wednesday night.

Cincinnati got a leadoff triple in the first from centerfielder Tony Campana, who scored on the ensuing groundout, but the Bulls tied the score an inning later. How's this for manufacturing a run: Freshman Stephen Hunt led off the second with an infield single, advanced when Brian Hobbs reached on an error, took third on a sacrifice bunt by Trey Manz and scored on a sacrifice fly by Jonathan Koscso.

Koscso, by the way, pronounces him name like "Costco," since that second "s" would be nearly impossible to pronounce. It's kind of like Favre, but that's how everybody says it ...
