Baseball Falls in Road Loss to No. 10 Florida State
4/23/2024 11:00:00 PM | Baseball
Nichols, McKinlay Both Hit Solo Home Runs
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - North Florida baseball (18-19) had a one-run lead early on after a solo home run from Cherokee Nichols, which was one of two Osprey homers on the night, but ultimately lost at No. 10 Florida State (32-8), 10-2, on Tuesday evening.
UNF went into the bottom of the third with the slight edge on the road against the Seminoles, but a five-run including from FSU gave them the lead. Three more runs scored by the Noles in the following inning put the game out of reach in the Ospreys' final road game of a five-game stretch.
Tripp McKinlay joined Nichols with a solo shot in the eighth inning for his fourth of the season, while Nichols earned his fifth in the midweek matchup. Cade Bush and Connor Moore also started in the game against their former team.
