Against The OpponentÂ
North Florida and The Citadel are meeting for the 13th time in a series history that dates back to 1995 ... UNF and The Citadel have played five times at North Florida ... the Bulldogs won the previous meeting, an 8-1 win for The Citadel in Charleston March 29, 2022 ... the Ospreys and Bulldogs haven't played in Jacksonville since 2015 ... UNF has won three of the last five games, including two of three in Charleston a year ago.
Last Time OutÂ
FORT MYERS, Fla. - North Florida baseball put together a massive two-win day down in Fort Myers, quieting an explosive Florida Gulf Coast (22-14, 8-7 ASUN) team en route to 12-6 and 6-4 victories at FGCU Saturday, April 16. UNF finishes the weekend taking two of three from the Eagles, bringing head coach Tim Parenton past the 100-win milestone as North Florida's head coach.
Hitting in Bunches
North Florida's offense has scored in bunches this season ... the Ospreys have posted 359 hits in 37 games, just shy of averaging double-digit hits each game ... the Ospreys are second in the ASUN in total hits, good for 41st in the nation ... with a .280 batting average, the Ospreys rank third in the league ... UNF has clubbed 69 doubles, also good for third in the league ... five different Ospreys have tallied over 40 hits this season ... Abraham Sequera, Aidan Sweatt, Isaiah Byars, Brock Edge and Cade Westbrook have all broken the 40-hit milestone.
Ring 'Em Up in Relief
Righty Stephen Halstead was huge in carrying North Florida to a 6-4 win against FGCU in the weekend finale in Fort Myers ... Halstead fanned a career-best seven batters in a career-long 4.0 innings of work, earning the win ... joining him in relief was righty Max McKinley, traditionally a starter before turning in a one-inning save.
Trending
Cade Westbrook extended his on-base streak to 24 games after getting on in each of the three games at FGCU ... McKinley reached 100-career strikeouts Thursday at FGCU ... Sweatt is nearing his own milestone, sitting at 97 career hits after posting 50 as a freshman and 47 this season ... he's done so in just 81 games played ... Sweatt is hitting .303 for his career and is on a six-game hitting streak that includes five multi-hit games ... the infielder posted three RBI in the 12-6 win at FGCU.
