Baseball Has Winning Streak Snapped at UNA

Lions Score Five Late to Break 3-3 Stalemate

FLORENCE, Ala. - Tied 3-3 in the seventh, UNA (11-27)  spurned one run in the seventh followed by a four spot in the eighth to take the game, 8-4, stunting UNF's winning streak at a season-best six games.

The two teams were initially scheduled to play two games Saturday, although playing conditions were not suitable for first pitch of the first game of the twin bill initially slated for 10 a.m. (EST).

Behind the Line Score
  • UNA went ahead, 1-0, in the second after Reig Singewald doubled and Peyton Sockwell singled him home.
  • Wes Weeks' monstrous weekend continued and helped UNF take a 3-1 lead in the third. Walks to Blake Marabell, Chris Berry and Tanner Murphy loaded the bags with one out. Austin Hurwitz plated Marabell with a sac fly and Weeks singled in two with a base knock.
  • A pair of walks ended up resulting in two UNA runs in the fourth, tying it at three.
  • Marchese and Lions' reliever Bryant Claunch settled in through the middle innings as the 3-3 stalemate ran into the seventh. UNF had a scoring opportunity in the sixth after Weeks singled and stole second, but Claunch escaped the threat after getting Abraham Sequera to fly out to end the inning.
  • The Lions scored the eventual game-winning run in the seventh, using a walk once more. A leadoff walk, hit by pitch and single made it 4-3 Lions.
  • Two more hit batsmen, three singles, a steal, sacrifice fly and sac bunt all added up to UNA's four-run eighth.
  • The Ospreys got the tying run to the plate in Jay Prather in the ninth, but Claunch was able to coax a fly out to earn the win in long relief.
