Box Score

Gainesville, FL – Santa Fe sophomore pitcher Trent Johnson (6-1) tossed seven solid innings on Friday afternoon, allowing just three runs while striking out nine to earn the win over Florida State College-Jacksonville. 

SF improves their record to 31-4 overall and 12-1 in the Mid-Florida Conference.  They are currently riding a seven game winning streak and have won 23 of their last 24 games.

The Santa Fe offense was stagnant until Cole Parks unleashed a line drive homerun to left center to tie the score at 3-3 in the sixth inning.

Santa Fe took the lead for good in the seventh on an RBI double by Matt Allen, scoring Brandon Hernandez, who reached on a throwing error.  Tyler Kinney hit his team leading fifth homerun in the eighth for an insurance run.

Call Graham pitched a scoreless eighth inning in relief, and Troy Bacon pitched the ninth for his 10^th save, the second most in a season in school history.  He is now just three behind Rene Guerra's all time Santa Fe mark of 13 set in 2007.
