CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Jacksonville Baseball fell 4-3 in the series finale versus Queens, after a three-run walk-off HR from the Royals’ Bradley Brown. 

With the loss, the Dolphins drop their second ASUN series of the season, bringing their conference record to 2-4 and their overall ledger to 11-13.

Ninth Inning

A 1-1 ballgame heading into the ninth, Archer Ogbourne led the Dolphins off with an infield single, followed by a Roger Vergara double down the left field line.

With runners on the corners, redshirt freshman Cade Walter broke through when he barreled a double into the right field gap, plating two and giving Jacksonville a 3-1 advantage headed into the bottom of the ninth. 

After two Royals reached on a HBP and walk, Queens’ Bradley Brown hit a three-run walk-off home run to win the game. 

Despite the loss, lefty Brendan Holland had a stellar day on the mound. The senior pitched six complete innings and struck out eight, including the side in the fourth. His eight punch-outs are a season high and three shy of a career record. 

How It Happened 

JU threatened in the second and third innings but ultimately left two runners stranded in both frames.

Cade Walter broke the scoreless tie in the top of the fifth after he singled in Vergara from second base, giving JU a 1-0 lead. The Royals answered in the bottom of the sixth, leading off with a double and eventually scoring on a wild pitch.

The Dolphins had nine hits on the day, but could not find ways to bring them in. The squad left ten runners on base throughout the contest. Sammy Mummau, Roger Vergara, Cade Walter, Sam Grunberg and Archer Ogbourne were among the five Dolphins who recorded a hit. 

Nick DeLisi caught a runner attempting to steal second.
