USF to face New York Yankees to open Grapefruit League

For the second time in four years, the University of South Florida baseball team will play the New York Yankees.

USF will face the Yankees in an exhibition game on March 2nd that will kickoff the spring training
slate of games for the 27 time World Series Champions.

The teams met in 2008 when USF dropped an 11-4 decision. It will also mark a celebration for USF head coach Lelo Prado, who recently signed a three year extension to his contract that will keep him at USF through the 2014 season.

In his five years running the USF baseball program, Prado has a 150-139 record.
