Ospreys Blank Stetson, Game Two Suspended to Sunday

UNF Overwhelms Stetson, 8-0, Game Two Suspended With UNF leading, 2-0, in the Fourth

DeLAND, Fla. - An offensive outburst combined with a shutout from Sydney Matzko fueled UNF's 8-0 victory against Stetson in game one, and in game two the Ospreys established a 2-0 lead before rain suspended play in the fourth inning of the second half of Saturday's twin bill.

Game two will be continued at 10 a.m. tomorrow from Stetson.

GAME 1
Pitchers of Record
WIN | Sydney Matzko (12-11) 6.0 IP 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K
LOSS | Tori Perkins (13-15) 2.1 IP, 6 H, 5 R, 4 ER, 0 BB, 0 K

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The Ospreys bats came alive, outhitting Stetson, 12-2 en route to the shut out.
  • North Florida did not waste any time as back-to-back singles from Navia Penrod and Dominica Cocuzza put runners aboard. Tiffany Lower then stroked her own single to bring in Penrod.
  • A sac bunt moved the runners before Makenzie Griffin tallied two of her three RBI to bring in Cocuzza and Lower for a 3-0 lead.
  • An error and another single from Griffin allowed two more runs to score in the third for a 5-0 advantage.
  • In the sixth, Taylor Engman and Megan Woodson each tallied a single for two on. Penrod singled through the left side to bring home Woodson before Cocuzza smacked her first double since March 17 to score the game-ending runs.
  • Pitcher Sydney Matzko tossed a phenomenal game, allowing just two hits and six total base runners. The only threat was in the sixth when Stetson had runners on second and third.
