TAMPA BAY SPORTS SCENE by Leo Haggerty PFWA
TAMPA BAY SPORTS SCENE. Almost all area sports team in action so here we go. RAYS. 2-5 but that's because they ran into a buzzsaw the last 3 games. Beat Twins at home to start the segment. Went to Baltimore winning 2 of 3 from the Orioles. Then went to Philadelphia and were swept by the Phillies. 2 were one run losses that included a bench clearing incident when Phils OF Nick Castellanos got plunked after Phitins posted a 5 spot in the 8th to break open a tie game. Tampa Bay travels to Cleveland for a four game set with the Guardians. Travel back to Florida Monday then open a series with the Boston Red Sox with night games Tuesday and Wednesday. USF. Bulls lose to Alabama 42-16 in Tuscaloosa but the score is no indication of the game. USF gave the Crimson Tide all they could handle trailing 21-16 with just under 6 minutes to go when the roof caved in on the Green & Gold.
