JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Brennon Grogan had two hits, scored two runs and drove in three more as North Florida defeated Campbell University 12-8 in college baseball action Wednesday night at Harmon Stadium.

The Ospreys led 10-1 after three innings, scoring six in the bottom of the first and four more in the third. UNF had seven hits, including a two-run double by Brooks West, to score the six runs in the first frame. Five of the six runs scored by North Florida in the first were earned, with one as a result of an error.

The Camels scored a run in the top of the third, but UNF responded with four more runs in the bottom half of the inning. Brennen Grogan, who went 2-for-3 with two runs and two RBI, brought two runs in with a single to right field.

CU scored two runs on sacrifice flies by Tim Holt and Mike Priest in the fifth and added a run in the eighth. The biggest inning by the Camels didn't come until the ninth when they scored three runs.

Tim Holt led off the ninth with a single and Priest followed with his sixth home run of the season. The two-run homer by Priest cut the deficit to four runs, but couldn't get any closer.

Justin Phillips extended his hitting streak to 12 games with two hits on the day. Ricky Howard and Priest, who had three RBI, also had two base hits against UNF.

Brooks West (1-1) picked up the win for the Ospreys working 1.1 innings in relief. West, who started the game at designated hitter, allowed one run on two hits while on the mound. Starter Ryan Amason gave up one run on four hits, but was not eligible for the win, throwing just three innings.

Tyler Sexton (0-2) took the loss for the Camels, allowing 10 runs, eight earned, on 11 hits, while striking out one and walking one. This is the second straight start that Sexton has allowed 10 runs, both resulting in losses.

Freshman Heath Bridgers, pitched for the second straight game for the Camels, did not allow a run on two hits in three innings.

The game featured 20 runs, 38 hits and nine errors. The Camels committed a season-high five errors on the night that led to three unearned runs, while UNF had four errors that led to two unearned runs.
