Dolphins Fall in Extra Innings at #2 Florida

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Jacksonville University baseball team fought till the end in a heartbreaker to #2 Florida (5-0) on Wednesday night, losing 4-3 in the 10th inning.

Chris Mauloni (0-1) sat down the first five batters he faced in the ninth and tenth inning but gave up back-to-back walks followed by the game winning single to end the game.

Christian Coipel opened the scoring for the Dolphins (1-4) in the first inning with a 3-run blast to right center after Scott Dubrule reached on a fielding error by the Gators left fielder and a Cory Heffron walk.

AJ Jones battled through the tough Gators lineup allowing two runs off of a sac fly and a wild pitch through the first four innings before giving up a homerun to begin the fifth. After getting a fly out followed by a single up the middle in the fifth, Jones was lifted for Jagger McCoy who proceeded to pitch 1.2 scoreless innings with two strikeouts. Nick Love came in to relieve McCoy and threw two innings allowing no runs with one strikeout.

The story of the game was both teams inability to get hits with runners in scoring position. The Dolphins left seven runners in scoring position and the Gators left six. Jacksonville had a runner on third base in four straight innings (five-eight) but was unable to capitalize. The Gators had a baserunner on in each of the first eight innings, stranding ten runners on base throughout the game.

Chris Mauloni was brought in the game in the ninth where he went three-up-three-down.
