BATON ROUGE, La. – The North Florida Softball team dropped both of their games in their second day at the Tiger Classic in Baton Rouge, La. Saturday.

Game 1
The Ospreys were edged by Ohio State 2-1 in the final inning in the first game of the day. The Buckeyes took the early lead in the third with a solo home run. The Ospreys managed to tie the game at 1-1 in the top of the seventh when sophomore Casey Estes scored on a passed ball.

The Buckeyes walked off with the win in the bottom half of the inning with a RBI single.

Freshman Navia Penrod went 2-for-4, while sophomore Ashley Niesman went 1-for-3 with a double to lead the Ospreys' offense.

Senior Janet Snipe only allowed 6 hits to the Buckeyes in seven innings of work for the Ospreys' defense.

Game 2
North Florida faced Pacific in their second game of the day, falling to the Tigers 5-0. Pacific took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the second with a two-run home run, then pushed the lead to 5-0 with three unearned runs in the bottom of the fifth, two from an Ospreys throwing error and the third from a sacrifice bunt.

Leading the Ospreys offense was Penrod, who went 2-for-3 with a double, senior Shelby Duncan added the other hit for North Florida.

The Ospreys fall to 0-4 overall and now look to close out the Tiger Classic on a high note in another matchup with Connecticut Sunday at 10 a.m. ET.
