Softball Splits Opening Day Doubleheader at Spring Break Challenge

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - North Florida softball split its first pair of games on opening day of the Spring Break Challenge at UNF Softball Complex on Friday evening.

The Ospreys found themselves in a pitchers duel in Game 1 against St. John's with Allison Benning putting together a remarkable performance in the circle. Benning dealt all seven innings allowing just one run while striking out seven. However, UNF had a difficult time getting its back going en route to a narrow 1-0 falter.

Looking to bounce back in its nightcap, North Florida did just that. Mackenzie Woods stole home on a wild pitch in the bottom of the second to knot the score 1-1. Kirsten Caravaca drove in a run later in the frame on a fielder's choice to give UNF a one-run advantage. Lauren Brock followed with a run of her own via a fielding error to put the Ospreys ahead 3-1 at the end of the second inning.

Woods and Caravaca helped extend UNF's lead to 6-2 in the third with a RBI-double to right-center field and infield single, respectively. Logan Turner and Chloe Culp capped off the scoring for North Florida in the fourth and fifth frames with a pair of RBI singles before the Ospreys cruised to an 8-3 win.
