CLEARWATER—Andrew Longley’s one-out, walk-off home run in the ninth inning lifted the University of South Florida Bulls past Michigan State 2-1 on Saturday in the Big East-Big Ten Baseball Challenge at Jack Russell Stadium. The Bulls (2-0) will face Minnesota (1-1) in a 1 p.m. game on Sunday afternoon at Al Lang Field. USF is scheduled to start ace left-hander Andrew Barbosa, who will make his first apperance after missing most of last season due to Tommy John surgery.

The Big Ten’s Golden Gophers upended Louisville 7-1 in a rain-shortened game, then lost against St. John’s 6-1.
