With two runners on for KSU, a diving catch by UNF outfielder Brock Edge quite possibly saved the game. While it was mostly smooth sailing for Holden, things began to get dicey in the seventh inning. Hits just weren’t coming, so the opposing squads had to make the most of any opportunity they got. Both pitchers, including KSU’s Jack Myers, were giving stellar performances on the mound. UNF catcher Dallen Leach played a major role in Friday’s win, serving as both a calming presence behind the plate and an offensive spark in the batter’s box. As the game carried on, it appeared as though this might be all that was needed to secure a win. This brought in Cade Westbrook to score, giving UNF an early 1-0 lead. The Ospreys struck first, as Dallen Leach snuck a single into left field during the second inning. The wind blew strongly, affecting some fly balls early on in the game. It was a beautiful afternoon on the campus of UNF, which was bustling with the North Florida Invitational also taking place a few hundred feet away at Hodges Stadium. Peter Holden carved his way through the KSU lineup in a game that took less than two hours to complete. To do this while only giving up two hits, though, is even more impressive. Pitching was the name of the game on Friday as the University of North Florida (UNF) took down Kennesaw State (KSU) 3-0 in the series opener.Ī pitcher lasting all nine innings is a rarity in college baseball.
