North Florida followed with two more runs in the second\u2014without recording a hit\u2014taking advantage of walks and a wild pitch to extend the lead to 7-0.<\/p>\n<p>UNF continued to add on in the third and fourth innings, pushing the advantage to 11-1 and putting Jacksonville in an early hole it could not climb out of.<\/p>\n<p>Jacksonville got on the board in the second inning on an RBI sacrifice fly from <a href=\"https:\/\/judolphins.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/abdriel-delgado\/6824\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"6824\" target=\"_blank\">Abdriel Delgado<\/a>, scoring <a href=\"https:\/\/judolphins.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/logan-baratta\/8589\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"8589\" target=\"_blank\">Logan Baratta<\/a>.

Jacksonville, however, could not generate further momentum down the stretch.<\/p>\n<p>Despite working 10 walks on the night, Jacksonville managed just four hits and left multiple opportunities on the table, unable to come through with timely hits.<\/p>\n<p>On the mound, the Dolphins used multiple arms after the early deficit, with <a href=\"https:\/\/judolphins.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/gavin-dicks\/8592\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"8592\" target=\"_blank\">Gavin Dicks<\/a> providing a bright spot out of the bullpen, tossing three scoreless innings with five strikeouts.<\/p>\n<p>North Florida was led offensively by Mathew Farner (4-for-6) and Carter White, who drove in three runs as part of the Ospreys&#8217; five-run first inning.<\/p>\n<p>Jacksonville will look to bounce back in the series finale, scheduled for 1:00 pm est.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; &#13; Next Game: University of North Florida 3\/29\/2026 | 1:00 PM &#13; Mar. 29 (Sun) \/&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":210235,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[116,118,117],"class_list":["post-210234","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-headlines","tag-jacksonville-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210234","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=210234"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210234\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/210235"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=210234"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=210234"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=210234"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
