Baseball Bested in Series Opener With Stetson, 7-5

Teams Play 70th Game Against One Another in Series History

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Lefty Peter Holden fanned eight in his sixth-straight outing of at least five frames, although Stetson's three-run first inning couldn't be overcome as the Ospreys (12-11, 1-3 ASUN) dropped its ASUN-home opener against the Hatters (15-9, 4-0 ASUN) Friday, March 24. 

UNF outscored the Hatters after the top of the first inning, but the Ospreys couldn't catch the long-time rival in the 70th edition of the head-to-head series. 

Stetson 7, UNF 5

Behind the Line Score
  • Three walks and two singles, including a two-out two-RBI single, allowed Stetson to take a 3-0 lead after the first half inning.
  • UNF got one back in the second. Aidan Sweatt walked, avoided a double play by going on the pitch prior to a groundout and scored on a single up the middle from Jakob Runnels.
  • Both pitchers settled in to turn in scoreless sessions over the next two frames.
  • UNF got one back in the fifth. After walks to Alex Lodise and Matthew Clements, a chopper off Sweatt's bat went to shortstop before being thrown low to first. A bobble on the low throw allowed Lodise to score.
  • Stetson's David Bermudez hit a two-run home run to left center and Stetson added another on a walk, steal, passed ball and an error after a dropped third strike.
  • Stetson added an insurance run thanks to a walk, wild pitch and Andrew Estrella RBI single down the right field line. Cade Reich made a nice throw to get Estrella trying to stretch it to a double.
  • UNF put up crooked numbers in the seventh, taking advantage of Stetson reliever Nick Durgin after Austin Amaral departed. Lodise flared a single to right center and Matthew Clements doubled him home with a chopper down the line. Sweatt reached on an infield single and a successful double steal saw Clements score. Runnels ripped an RBI single up the middle, scoring another to make it 7-5. Reich ripped a liner to center, but Cameron Hill made a diving play to end the frame.
  • Lance Bolton did a great job working around a leadoff double in the eighth, stranding two.
  • Stetson's Anthony DeFabbia allowed a leadoff single but got the next three batters to close out the game.
