UNF - Brad Depperman (RHP, 0-0, 4.2 IP, 11.57 ERA, 1 BB, 3 K)
JU - Mark Potter (RHP, 1-1, 11.2 IP, 3.09 ERA, 6 BB, 6 K)
NOTEWORTHY

- North Florida enters the contest having won 6 straight including a weekend sweep over Penn where the Ospreys outscored the Quakers, 16-5
- UNF has reached double digit runs in three games already this season
- Tanner Murphy is swinging a hot bat since being inserted into the starting lineup as the freshman leads the team with a .516 batting average and a .774 slugging percentage. Newcomer Yahir Gurrola has a 9-game hitting steak entering the contest and tops the team with 11 extra base hits this year (7 doubles/2 triples/2 homers)
- This game pits two JU graduates coaching against each other, as Dolphin Head Coach Chris Hayes graduated from JU in 1995 and 2007, and UNF's Smoke Laval graduated in 1977.
- The Ospreys and Dolphins will meet again May 18-20 at Harmon Stadium for their ASUNÂ weekend series
