Ospreys clinch 30th win of the season

North Florida Baseball posted a 4‑1 victory over West Georgia at Harmon Stadium on Friday, securing its 30th win of the 2026 campaign and extending its unbeaten streak at home.

The triumph also marked the Ospreys’ eighth straight series win on their own turf this year, underscoring the team’s dominance in front of its own fans.

Record-breaking conference performance

With the win, North Florida improved to 21‑8 in Atlantic Sun Conference play, establishing a new program high for ASUN victories in a single season.

Farner’s bat lights the fire

Junior infielder Mathew Farner was the offensive catalyst, finishing 2‑for‑4 with three RBI and a solo homer that stretched the lead in the third inning.

Redshirt junior left‑hander Dakota Stone delivered six strong innings, allowing just one run on two hits while striking out four, lowering his team‑low ERA to 2.42 and earning his seventh win of the year.

A combined three‑inning shutout from sophomore Trevor Nikolis and senior Brandon Adams followed, limiting West Georgia to a single hit and a walk over that stretch.

Senior Day showdown

The Ospreys will close out the regular season on Senior Day, hosting West Georgia again on Saturday, May 16 at 1:05 p.m. ET, hoping to finish the year on a high note.

The performance not only highlights individual breakout moments but also signals the team’s depth and resilience as they head into the final stretch of the schedule.
