Pitching Seals Speedy Senior Day Win Against Stetson, 4-1

UNF Claims Series Win In Just One Hour and 51 Minutes

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Righty Jason Gonzalez went a career-long seven innings and Trey Spratling-Williams tallied three RBI as North Florida baseball dispatched Stetson, 4-1, in just one hour and 51 minutes to claim a Senior Day win Saturday, May 7.

Gonzalez earned his team-best fifth win of the year, fanning five while allowing only three hits, three walks and a hit batter. Lefty Zach Chappell spun two scoreless, earning his first-career save as both pitching staffs negated a wind that was howling out all afternoon. 

UNF honored its seniors prior to the game as the Ospreys claimed their third-straight ASUN home series.

Behind the Line Score
  • UNF loaded the bases and made Stetson pay thanks to a two-out two-RBI single from Spratling-Williams in the first.
  • Both pitchers settled in and cruised through the early and middle innings. 
  • Cameron Hill walked and stole second, setting up a scoring chance for Stetson in the sixth, but Jason Gonzalez got Camden Traficante to fan to end the inning.
  • UNF extended its lead to 4-0 in the fourth. Cade Westbrook singled and advanced on a throwing error on an attempt to get him at second base on a ground ball. Spratling-Williams came through, doubling home Westbrook before Caleb Stafford scored Sweatt with a sac fly.
  • Stetson scratched across its first run of the game in the seventh on an RBI infield single from Jakob Bullard. A 9-4-6-5 relay play helped UNF get out of a potential big inning for Stetson in that frame.
  • Chappell closed out the game with a two-inning save, permitting just a single.
