Four Ospreys notched mutli-hit performances to help bring North Florida's hit total to 14.
Redshirt freshman outfielder Sean Benjamin and redshirt junior utility player Jackson Toberman each turned in three-hit outings with three RBI.
North Florida opened the scoring with a four-run top of the second inning. Toberman drove in North Florida's first run of the game with an RBI single up the middle.
