UNF Takes Series From Baseball With 13-1 Win



JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Tyler DuPont held UNCW in check over eight innings and North Florida exploded six runs in the third inning to break the game open on its way to a 13-1 win over the Seahawks on Saturday at Harmon Stadium.

The Ospreys, who claimed the series with the win, improved to 8-8 on the season with their second win in as many days. The Seahawks, meanwhile, fell to 9-4 with their second consecutive loss.

DuPont (1-0) allowed a run on three hits over a season-long eight innings. The lefthander finished with four strikeouts and did not walk a batter.

Seahawk freshman Alex Royalty (3-1) took the loss lasting a season-low 2.2 innings and surrendering five runs on four hits and three walks.

Offensively, UNF was led by Christian Diaz and Chris Thibideau, who each had three hits and homered on the afternoon.

Nick Feight doubled in UNCW's lone run in the fourth inning.

Up next: The series concludes on Sunday with another 1 p.m. start.

Home Runs: UNF Thibideau (5th inning of Lockamon, solo, leadoff), Diaz (8th inning off Mulier, solo, leadoff)

How it happened: UNF plated six runs on four hits in the third off Royalty and reliever Whitman Barnes to build a 7-0 lead. The Ospreys batted around in the inning and Patrick Ervin highlighted the outburst with a two-run double.

Inside the box score: At the plate, UNCW was 2-for-14 with runners on base and 0-4 with RISP … UNF was able to land its leadoff hitter on base in 6-of-8 innings and that runner would come around to score five times … UNF was able to overcome a season-high four errors …

Notes: UNCW dropped its first series of the season with today's loss and will look to avert a sweep on Sunday … Steven Linkous saw his 14-game on-base streak halted, going 0-for-4 … The Seahawks now trail the series, 3-1 … The loss was UNCW's third on the road on the young season … The loss was also the first against a lefthanded starter for the Seahawks.
