JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – North Florida Baseball swept its series over Jacksonville in the River City Rumble, 12-6, at John Sessions Stadium on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Much like they were in Game 2 of the series, North Florida’s bats were hot early. Junior outfielder Gialdri Gomez<\/a> notched an infield single to give the Ospreys a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning.\u00a0<\/p>\n Redshirt junior utility player Jackson Toberman<\/a> belted a two-run home run in the top of the third inning to extend North Florida’s lead to 3-0. Toberman hit his second homer of the game and fifth of the season in the top of the fifth frame, allowing North Florida to command a 4-0 advantage.<\/p>\n Freshman infielder Drew Buchanan<\/a> and junior infielder Mathew Farner<\/a> each worked back-to-back walks with the bases loaded in the top of the sixth inning that allowed North Florida to command a 6-0 edge.<\/p>\n Senior right-handed pitcher Ryan Furey<\/a> was solid in his starting role. Furey dealt six scoreless innings and allowed just one hit while notching three strikeouts.<\/p>\n Redshirt junior utility player Boone Hosey<\/a> roped an RBI triple in the left-center field gap in the top of the seventh inning to increase North Florida’s lead to 7-0. Redshirt freshman outfielder Sean Benjamin<\/a> added an insurance run with a sacrifice fly to cap off the top of the seventh. Benjamin’s sacrifice fly gave North Florida an 8-0 advantage.<\/p>\n Jacksonville responded with four runs in the bottom of the seventh inning.<\/p>\n Toberman tallied his fourth\u00a0RBI of the game with a single through the right side in the top of the eighth frame to put North Florida ahead, 9-4. Gomez added a run in the top of the eighth with a sacrifice fly.\u00a0<\/p>\n Redshirt sophomore outfielder Carter White<\/a> capped off UNF’s four-run eighth inning and gave the Ospreys a 12-4 lead with a double down the line in left field. White’s double brought the score to its eventual final margin.<\/p>\n Junior infielder Mitchell Collins<\/a> had a solid day in his leadoff role. Collins went 3-6 with two runs. Toberman joined Collins with a three-hit outing, going 3-6 with four RBI and three runs. Gomez, Hosey and senior catcher Santiago Ordonez<\/a> all tallied multi-hit performances in the win.<\/p>\n NORTH FLORIDA 12, JACKSONVILLE 6<\/p>\n Pitchers of Record Line Scores Statistical Leaders JACKSONVILLE UP NEXT
