A week after being swept in the series with the Liberty Flames, the UCF Knights closed out their series with the North Florida Ospreys winning 3-2 to close out the series 3-1.
Sunday’s game was the final in a four-game series for the Knights against the Ospreys, where UCF won its first two games on Wednesday and Friday, 10-0 and 6-2, respectively.
This specific lead would be short lived. A fielding error by Cory Acton allowed UNF’s Cade Westbrook to score and tie the game up 1-1.
The Gators were unfazed. They let UNF have their run, because they weren’t at the plate.
Keeping Them Coming
In the top of the second, Butler, quickly back up to bat, singled up the middle to score Nathan Hickey from second.

This lead would never be relinquished. With two outs, the Gators once again loaded the bases. Unlike on Sunday, they took advantage of it much sooner. Colby Halter tripled to right center field to clear the bases. It’s now 5-1 Florida over UNF.
