JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The University of North Florida baseball team begins a six-game road trip with a pair of nonconference games against The Citadel in Charleston, S.C. The first game is slated for Tuesday, May 1 at 6:00 p.m., while game two is set for Wednesday, May 2 at 3:00 p.m.
North Florida plays nine of its next 10 games on the road. After playing The Citadel, North Florida continues its road swing with a three-game Atlantic Sun Conference series with Belmont in Nashville, Tenn. UNF concludes the road trip with a single game against Florida in Gainesville, Fla. North Florida returns home for a single game against USF (Wednesday, May 9), before taking on Mercer in a three-game conference series in Macon, Ga.
The Ospreys and Bulldogs have met just one time in program history with UNF claiming a 7-4 victory over the service academy at Harmon Stadium on March 4, 1995. The games will mark the first time the two teams have ever met against each other in Charleston, S.C.
Last season, North Florida opened up the season in Charleston, S.C. with a three-game series with Charleston Southern. The Ospreys won the series two games to one. UNF opened up the Smoke Laval Era with a 12-8 victory over the Buccaneers. After dropping the second game 2-1, the Ospreys blanked the Bucs, 7-0.
UNF is currently 11-8 (.579) against current members of the Southern Conference. Earlier this year, the Ospreys won three games in a four-game weekend series with Georgia Southern. UNF opened the series with a pair of victories (W, 8-5 and W, 7-4) at Harmon Stadium. The series shifted to Statesboro, Ga. with UNF claiming the first game, 7-5, before dropping the series finale, 9-5.
North Florida enters the week winning eight of its last 13 games. The Ospreys began their solid play with a 10-5 victory at Dusty Rhodes Field at Harmon Stadium against #1 Florida. UNF claimed a pair of Atlantic Sun Conference series against East Tennessee State and Lipscomb, while earning a pair of nonconference victories against Florida A&M. In addition, the Ospreys have won their last three road games.
Over the weekend, UNF dropped an Atlantic Sun Conference series with Stetson, 2-1. The Ospreys dropped the first game 10-2, but came from behind in the second game to win 4-3. In the rubber match of series, North Florida tried for its second come from behind victory in as many games, but was unsuccessful, falling 2-1.
Scouting the Opposition:
Joe Jackson collected three hits and The Citadel took advantage of four costly errors by Georgia Southern to defeat the Eagles 8-7 Sunday afternoon at Riley Park and take the Southern Conference series two games to one. The Bulldogs improve to 19-25 overall, 9-12 in the conference and host North Florida for a two-game midweek series starting Tuesday at 6 p.m.
Jackson's three hit outing was his 15th multi-hit game of the season and his two RBI effort led the Bulldogs as well. Hughston Armstrong also collected two base hits for The Citadel, which was out-hit 15-9 in the game. James Reeves picked up his team-best sixth win in relief, allowing three runs on five hits in 3.1 innings of work. Ryan Hines earned his fifth save, giving up one run on two hits in two frames.
