McKinley Turns in a Quality Start, Ospreys Notch 14 Hits

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - UNF baseball (13-16, 7-4 ASUN) overturned a 3-1 deficit with a six-run fifth inning and three-run sixth inning behind righty Max McKinley's quality start in the Ospreys' 10-4 win against Jacksonville (7-25, 0-11 ASUN) Saturday, April 24.

North Florida bats broke out for 14 hits, 12 of which were singles, paced by three-hit days from Blake Marabell and Tanner Clark.

Slots five-through-nine collected 12 of UNF's 14 hits on the day.
