Against The Opponent 
UConn: North Florida and UConn have met six times ... all six meetings have come at North Florida ... UNF and UConn first met in 2004 ... the Huskies lead the all-time series, 4-2 ... North Florida took two of three from the Huskies in a series back in 2018.

Last Time Out 
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - North Florida baseball (1-4) created the chances it needed by outhitting the host No. 15/10 Florida Gators (3-2), but nine stranded runners loomed large in UNF's 3-1 loss to UF Wednesday, Feb. 23.

Looking for the Big Hit
UNF has outhit its opponent in four of five games this year ... the Ospreys have notched at least eight hits in every game, although runners left on have haunted UNF early ... North Florida has left 56 on through five games ... UNF held UCF and UF to five and six hits respectively.

Depth in the Pen
Through five games, UNF has used 10 different relief pitchers ... together they've combined to post a 1.53 ERA in 29.1 innings of relief ... Dominick Madonna spun 5.2 scoreless in a long-relief win last weekend, Peter Holden went 5.1-hitless frames and Jason Gonzalez has fanned five in 6.2 innings of work ... eight of the 10 relievers used this season haven't allowed a run.

Home Sweet Home
UNF plays thirty-three home games this season ... the Ospreys have played four of five games at home already this season ... Friday's game begins a 10-game home stand for the Ospreys, their longest such stretch during the 2022 season.
