Owls Drop Seesaw Battle with UNF
2/28/2024 11:13:00 PM | Baseball
UNF got a sac fly in the eighth to make it 5-4 but Ben Gilbert worked out of a jam and kept the deficit at just one. In the bottom of the frame, it was Brady again who came through in the clutch. This time, the junior's first home run as an Owl made it a 6-5 game going into the top of the ninth.
The Owls put two on in the bottom of the ninth but ultimately could not cash in.
"I'm very disappointed in everything. All facets of the game. We didn't pitch. We didn't make the plays when we had to. We had plenty of opportunities. We scored six, we could've scored eight, nine, or 10 just by putting the ball in play. Very disappointing."
- Abbey struck out three, allowed two hits, and two runs.
- Justin Gay was first out of the bullpen and recorded two outs in the fourth.
- Danny Trehey and Dylan Oborne combined for six strikeouts in 3.1 innings, holding the Ospreys scoreless in the fifth, sixth, and seventh.
- Kyle Beaty and Gilbert combined in the eighth.
- The Owls out-hit the Ospreys 11-8 led by three hit nights from Leroux and Adams. Leroux also scored three runs.
- Brady finished 2-for-4 with three RBI.
- Gonzalez tallied the first home run of his career in a 2-for-5 night.
