Arends Fans Nine Batters, Pfent Goes Perfect From Plate
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - North Florida softball (16-5) held its seventh-straight opponent scoreless in the Ospreys' rout of Saint Francis (10-9), 6-0, to close out the weekend undefeated in the UNF-JU Spring Break Challenge on Sunday afternoon.
It's the first time since the 2013 season that the Ospreys have shut out seven consecutive opponents. It is also their eighth-straight victory, which is the most wins in a row since meeting that mark from Mar. 10-17, 2019.
Halle Arends continued her dominance in the circle with six innings pitched while totaling nine strikeouts and only allowing one walk. Paige Pfent had a perfect 3-for-3 day at the plate with a run scored to help lift the Ospreys to their fifth win of the weekend.
