It was the most runs scored in a game by the Knights (39-22) in their NCAA Tournament history.

UCF advances to Sunday’s noon game and will await the loser of Saturday night’s contest between No. 1 Florida State and No. 3 Alabama. If the Knights rumble with FSU, the game will air on Sun Sports.

“I’m very proud of the effort of our guys,” said head coachTerry Rooney. “We faced an outstanding Bethune-Cookman club, a team that we played (twice) during the year and their starting pitcher did a tremendous job. But our guys continued to battle throughout the day. I thoughtDanny Winkler pitched fantastic. He was incredible.”
