USF (5-12) will start a seven-game homestand Friday, facing Mercer at 7 p.m. for the first of a three-game weekend series.
The Bulls will look to extend their winning streak to three games for the first time this season, as junior Randy Fontanez gets the call.
Tuesday night’s win over UCF – where starting pitcher Teddy Kaufman threw a complete-game shutout with 14 strikeouts – was the team’s first road win.
Mercer (13-5) has played all but three games at home this year. Only one batter in their starting lineup is batting under .300.
In its last five games, Mercer has scored a total of 64 runs, with more than 10 in each of its last three games.
USF continues to play without sophomore shortstop Sam Mende, who suffered a broken jaw last weekend. Mende was batting .342 in 38 at-bats before the injury.
