Stetson's baseball team lost 5-1 to Jacksonville in the opening game of their ASUN series, tallying only three hits. Despite a solid start from pitcher Connor Ball, who allowed two runs over five innings, the Hatters faltered late in the game, conceding three runs in the eighth inning. Stetson managed to threaten with baserunners and drew six walks, but couldn't capitalize when it mattered most. Jacksonville's Conner Spelman led the charge with a home run and four RBIs, securing the win for the Dolphins. The Hatters now hold a record of 12-18, falling to 3-6 in ASUN play.
