FORT MYERS, Fla. \u2013 Jacksonville Baseball dropped the series finale to FGCU on Sunday but secured its second consecutive ASUN series victory.<\/p>\n
Jacksonville outscored FGCU 11-9 across the three-game set, highlighting a strong weekend from the pitching staff.<\/p>\n
Entering Friday, the Eagles led the ASUN in team batting average and owned the conference’s lowest ERA. They were undefeated at home in ASUN play and carried a 15-3 overall home record. The Dolphins’ road series win should prove valuable down the stretch.<\/p>\n
With Queens run-ruling Stetson on Sunday, Jacksonville now sits fourth in the ASUN’s Graphite Division, six games back of first place and two out of second.<\/p>\n
JU will face FGCU once more to close the regular season, hosting a three-game series at John Sessions Stadium beginning May 14.<\/p>\n
The Dolphins are set to host West Georgia and Queens in April, with road series at UNF and Stetson in May.<\/p>\n
How It Happened<\/p>\n
In the first, Sammy Mummau<\/a> worked a competitive leadoff walk to begin the game. A double play and flyout quickly ended the threat. On the mound, Kyle Powers<\/a> made his second career start in a key ASUN matchup.<\/p>\n The left-hander responded with a 1-2-3 first inning, turning it over to the offense.<\/p>\n In the second, Sam Grunberg<\/a> led off with a hard-hit single through the left side, but Jacksonville was unable to capitalize.<\/p>\n FGCU broke through in the third, scoring three of its four runs on a three-run homer by Javier Gorostola to left. All three runs were unearned following a two-out throwing error by Logan Baratta<\/a>.<\/p>\n Powers, working on a predetermined pitch count, went three innings, allowing four hits and striking out one while taking the loss.<\/p>\n In the fifth, Abdriel Delgado<\/a> beat out an infield chopper to first to lead off the inning. Baratta moved him into scoring position with a productive out, but JU could not bring him home.<\/p>\n The Dolphins scored their lone run on a two out rally in the sixth, after Sammy Mummau<\/a> singled and reached second, followed by a Derek Bermudez<\/a> single to knock him in.<\/p>\n Two out rally ??<\/p>\n Mummau singles and reaches second, then Bermudez drives him in!<\/p>\n T6 | JU 1 FGCU 3<\/p>\n ?? https:\/\/t.co\/hMqWfQWFS6<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/A4xVADtmOK<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Jacksonville Baseball (@JUBaseball) April 12, 2026<\/a> <\/p>\n In the seventh, freshman Griffin Pomper<\/a> threw out his second runner attempting to steal in as many days.<\/p>\n SCHEDULED REMINDER ?? @GriffinPomper<\/a> <\/p>\n ?? https:\/\/t.co\/hMqWfQWFS6<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/wLVv9JYlYG<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/DDGywfNPrZ<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Jacksonville Baseball (@JUBaseball) April 12, 2026<\/a> <\/p>\n Notables JU will return to action on Tuesday, traveling to Orlando to take on the UCF Knights.
