JACKSONVILLE, Ala. - North Florida softball was positioned to win its third-consecutive ASUN series to open conference play, but Jacksonville State rallied late and walked it off in extras as the Ospreys (26-9, 5-4 ASUN) were edged, 5-4, in eight innings against the Gamecocks (19-13, 3-3 ASUN) Sunday, March 27.

Shannon Glover and Savannah Channell provided all of the scoring for UNF as they launched a two-run home run apiece. Channell registered seven total bases on the afternoon while Glover notched her eighth multi-RBI game.

Behind the Line Score

Jacksonville State scratched across a pair of runs on two hits in the first inning, taking a 2-0 lead.
That advantage didn't last long as Shannon Glover launched a game-tying two-run home run to left field in the second. Glover took a letter-high pitch over the wall, scoring Regan Hermeling.
After both pitchers settled in, Savannah Channell broke the deadlock with her own two-run home run in the fourth inning, her first roundtripper as an Osprey.
Morgan Clausen stranded a pair of runners, coaxing an inning-ending fly out to center to keep runners at second and third in the fourth.
Jacksonville State was pesky in the sixth, tying the game up thanks to a two-out RBI infield single and bases loaded walk.
JSU walked off in the bottom of the eighth. After Abi Annett doubled up a runner at first on a popped up bunt, the Gamecocks reached on an infield single and stole second. A single through the left side sent the runner home and just under the tag of Paige Pfent at the plate.
