JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Brad Deppermann's 2019 has been stellar and in Saturday's 9-1 win against Florida A&M (18-26) it became historic as the righty became the new career-strikeout king in UNF's Division I record books.

Deppermann fanned nine all-told, giving him 214 for his career and pushing him past Kyle Westwood (2010-13) who had the previous record at 210.

Behind the Line Score

UNF (24-17) took a 1-0 lead in the second. Wes Weeks legged out an infield single, swiped second and Alex Reynolds walked. David Maberry recorded a productive out, moving both up 90 feet. Abraham Sequera plated Weeks with an RBI groundout.
Chris Berry flew out to deep-right field in the first but in the third he hit one even better, blasting a solo shot to straight away right for a 2-0 lead.
The lead expanded in the fourth. Maberry chopped a single up the middle and took second on a beautiful bunt single from Abraham Sequera. Blake Marabell walked to load the bags before Berry scored Maberry on an RBI groundout. Jay Prather hit a ringing RBI single to right, scoring Sequera and pushing FAMU starter Kyle Coleman from the game.
FAMU broke up Deppermann's no-no and the shutout in the fifth. Kaycee Reese singled through the left side and moved to third on a double inside the third base bag off the bat of Seyjuan Lawrence. Brett Maxwell scored Reese one batter with a sacrifice fly to right on a lineout to Weeks.
UNF scored four in the fifth, expanding the lead to 8-1. Alex Reynolds singled up the middle and took second on a wild pitch. Maberry walked and Sequera rolled an RBI single to right, allowing Reynolds to slide just under the tag of FAMU's Maxwell at home. Marabell mashed a three-run home run that landed on the batting cage roof in left to complete the scoring in the frame.
Zach Chappell came into the game in the seventh, worked a one-two-three inning and wiggled out of a tense eighth, stranding the bags loaded.
UNF made it 9-1 in the eighth. Weeks doubled to left and Reynolds plated him one batter later with a single to right.
Logan Clayton allowed a leadoff double in the ninth but powered through with a pair of strikeouts and a groundout.
