Along with owning the the second highest RPI in the conference, JU now sits only three games back of first in the ASUN&#8217;s Graphite Division. The win brings the squad to 12-9 in conference,\u00a0after starting 2-7 in their first nine.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"503\" data-start=\"388\">Jacksonville once again leaned on a recurring theme of\u00a0balanced offensive effort, late inning runs and a pitching staff that could came through when it mattered.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"756\" data-start=\"505\"><a href=\"https:\/\/judolphins.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/kyle-powers\/7026\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"7026\" target=\"_blank\">Kyle Powers<\/a>, who was on a pre-determined pitch count,\u00a0earned his first win of the season, tossing 4.0 scoreless innings to open the game and set the tone early. The Dolphins&#8217; bullpen followed with a steady performance, limiting Queens to just two runs the rest of the way to preserve the lead.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"874\" data-start=\"758\">At the plate, Jacksonville struck early and continued a trend that has defined this stretch; answering immediately.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1117\" data-start=\"876\">After Queens cut into the lead with a solo home run in the fifth, the Dolphins responded in the bottom half. <a href=\"https:\/\/judolphins.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/derek-bermudez\/8601\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"8601\" target=\"_blank\">Derek Bermudez<\/a> delivered an RBI double to push the lead back to two, part of a day where he extended his hitting streak to 11 games. He&#8217;s back to his form from the beginning of the season.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1224\" data-start=\"1119\">Queens again pulled within one in the sixth with another solo homer, but Jacksonville answered once more.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1455\" data-start=\"1226\">In the eighth, the Dolphins broke things open. Bermudez came through again with a two-run double down the right field line, and <a href=\"https:\/\/judolphins.com\/sports\/baseball\/roster\/abdriel-delgado\/6824\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"6824\" target=\"_blank\">Abdriel Delgado<\/a> followed with an RBI single to stretch the lead to 6-2 and put the game out of reach.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">B8 | File Claimed ?? <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DerekBermudez4?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@DerekBermudez4<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>??
