UNF (22-26) got their only tally of the game in the top of the seventh, when Kayla McGory homered to left field to lead off the frame. The Ospreys managed three of their five hits on the day in the seventh, but left two runners stranded to end the game.

Rosier and Bowers each had a pair of hits, with Stoudemire collecting the lone other safety for FAMU, which finished with five hits Thursday.
