Two baseball teams - South Florida and North Florida - faced each other Wednesday night with 12-10 records. The Bulls drove back to Tampa with 11 losses, while the Ospreys extended their winning streak to four. The Bulls lost 4-3 and gave up many chances to score as they stranded 10 runners on base - nine of them in scoring position. They managed, however, to hold a 3-2 lead going into the ninth inning at Harmon Stadium in Jacksonville. Sophomore pitcher Shawn Sanford blew the save by giving up a run in the ninth and tenth innings after freshman Stephen Hunt hit the go-ahead run in the eighth inning for his first hit of the season.

Being able to wake up in the morning, listen to the radio, or attend class is sometimes taken for granted. The motion of swinging a bat or the ability to run to first base doesn't need a second thought. Freshman pitcher Capri Catalano didn't let adversity or hardships overpower her will and determination to live and achieve her goals. (1) comment
