Eagles Fall in Walk‑Off Thriller to Jacksonville

Jon Embury’s 60th RBI can’t lift FGCU as Dolphins clinch ninth‑inning victory

The Florida Gulf Coast University Eagles dropped a 2-1 decision to the Jacksonville Dolphins on Tuesday night, with a walk‑off run sealing the win in the ninth inning.

Jon Embury drove in his 60th run of the season with an RBI double, one of only three hits the Eagles managed.

Key contributions

Derek Bermudez added a solo home run and an RBI, while Conner Spelman led Jacksonville with three hits and a run driven in. Payton Waters threw two innings without allowing an earned run.

Roger Vergara crossed the plate to score the decisive run, capping a tightly contested game.

Looking ahead

Despite the loss, the Eagles are slated to be the No. 3 seed in the upcoming ASUN Tournament, a positioning that reflects a strong season overall. The squad, featuring Wilfred Gonzalez, Nathan Gagnon, Sebastian Lippman, Hunter Possehl, Mattox Meeks, Hyatt Richardson, Ryan Rushing, Logan Eisenbarth and others, will look to build on the experience as they prepare for postseason play.
