LEADING OFF
- Deppermann for the second straight Sunday matched his career best with 8.0 IP as he scattered five hits and allowed only one run, while walking two and tying a career-high with eight strikeouts.
- The Ospreys spread the hits around as eight different Ospreys got in the hit column with Law and classmate
Abraham Sequera picking up the RBI's in the contest.
-
Jay Prather extended his reached base streak to 34 in a row and his hit streak to 16 in a row with his second inning walk and seventh inning single respectively.

Chris Berry have now reached base safely in 26 straight games.
- The Ospreys have now won 20 home games in four straight seasons.
-
Nick Marchese came in the ninth and picked up his second save of the weekend and third in the last five games.
HOW IT HAPPENED
- Deppermann faced the minimum in the opening three innings and got the first two outs in the fourth before the Bisons took a 1-0 lead on a solo homer.
- In the seventh, UNF offense struck in a big way after singles from Prather and
Blake Voyles, the pair advanced to second and third on a Lipscomb wild pitch which set the table for Law.
- The freshman lined one right back up the middle and scored both Voyles and Prather to give UNF a 2-1 lead.
- Sequera on the next pitch lined an RBI single of his own through the right side to give UNF an insurance run and lead them to the 3-1 win.
