Nice start: Stull gets scoreless inning

As college debuts go, redshirt freshman Matt Stull has about as cool a first Bulls appearance as you can ask for: a scoreless inning of relief against the Yankees.

Stull, a 6-foot-5 right-hander from St. Pete Catholic, made it through the third without hurting the Bulls stranding Robinson Cano and Melky Cabrera, who had singled.

The Bulls also have their first hit, as Mike Consolmagno -- from Staten Island, no less -- hit a single to straightaway center off Ian Kennedy to lead off the fourth.

The Bulls got cocky and let Stull have a second inning on the mound and he nearly got another zero, but Jorge Posada hit a two-out triple off the wall in right to give the Yankees a 7-0 lead. An error by Addison Maruszak allowed Posada to score, and Shelley Duncan got an RBI single, so it's 9-0, Yankees.
