Game One Box Score
Game Two Box Score

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - On a foggy day at Harmon Stadium, the University of North Florida baseball team kept plugging away but wasn't able to find an answer for Florida Gulf Coast, falling 6- 0 and 8-2 in a doubleheader on Saturday.

UNF (6-11, 1-4 Atlantic Sun Conference) pounded out 10 hits in the second game of the twinbill after getting on the board for just four in the first contest. Senior Brian Wilson went a perfect 4-for-4 at the plate in the second game.

Senior RHP Spencer Jones had his best outing of the season in the first game, tossing 3.0 innings of scoreless relief while allowing just one hit and striking out four. The performance helped his ERA improve from 6.35 to 5.02. Junior RHP Tucker Pryor also had a scoreless relief appearance, allowing two hits in 1.1 innings of work.

In game two, the Ospreys got off to a fast start with a run in the bottom of the second to get on the board first. Redshirt freshman Andrew Karmeris led off the inning with a walk, which was followed by a Justin Preckajlo single down the left field line. Karmeris crossed the plate when junior Ryan Puskar blasted in an RBI single to left.

The charge was thwarted, however, when sophomore Paul Morales ran into some bad luck and lined out to FGCU first baseman Brad Roberts, who stepped on first base to complete the double play.

FGCU (11-6, 5-0) claimed the lead with two runs in the top of the fourth and extended it to 6-1 with a combined four runs in the sixth and seventh. The Eagles added another two runs in the top of the ninth.

The Ospreys made a valiant rally at the end, snatching another run in the bottom of the ninth when Karmeris' RBI single through the left side helped Wilson score. UNF was later able to load the bases when Puskar hit a single that ricocheted off FGCU third baseman Tim Roberson's glove and into left field.

But on the next play, the Eagles were able to put a hitch into the UNF rally when FGCU relief pitcher Derek Shaw cut junior Preston Hale down at the plate on a dribbler out in front of the plate hit by Morales. Shaw got junior David Eldredge to groundout to shortstop in the next play to end the game.

Puskar reached four times on the day with three hits and a walk. Morales was the only Osprey to record an extra-base hit when in game one he stretched a single through the right side of the infield into a double.

The Ospreys will return to action at 1 p.m. on Sunday to finish the series with FGCU. The game will be shown live on ASun.TV.
