Upstate Drops Final Game of the Jacksonville Spring Break Challenge Against North Florida

JACKSONVILLE, FLA. - USC Upstate softball fell 4-2 to the North Florida Ospreys on Sunday afternoon in the final game of the Jacksonville Spring Break Challenge. 

After their first meeting on Friday evening, the Spartans looked to go 1-1 against the Ospreys of North Florida to cap their time in Jacksonville. Upstate trailed early as the Ospreys were able to put three runs on the board in the bottom of the first. The Spartans responded promptly with two runs in the top of the second to bring the game within one run. Emily Stern got things started with a single to left field while Alanna Deal advanced to second after being awarded first due to a hit by pitch. Abigail Pippen sent Deal running home to score Upstate's first run of the game as well as advancing Stern to third with a double to left field. Stern gave the Spartans their second run of the game as she reached home safely while Lex Difato grounded out to the short stop. After a scoreless third and fourth inning, North Florida scored the game winning run in the fifth inning. Maness made her 12th start of the season against North Florida and had two strikeouts in her 6.0 innings pitched.  

UP NEXT FOR THE SPARTANS    

The Spartans will return home to Cyrill Stadium and prepare to start Big South Conference play against the Radford Highlanders on Friday and Saturday.
