JACKSONVILLE, FL –NJIT (3-28, 0-9 ASUN) dropped a 6-3 decision to North Florida (26-13, 7-2 ASUN) in the ASUN Conference series finale on Saturday afternoon at Harmon Stadium.
 
After NJIT jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the second, the Ospreys plated single runs in each of the next three frames to open up a 3-1 advantage after four innings.
 
Highlander starter RHP Tyler Stafflinger (1-4) allowed the three runs on four hits while walking three and fanning one in four innings of work.
 
North Florida broke the game open with a three-run sixth to make it a 6-1 game as Mac Wilson and Blake Voyles each registered RBIs in the inning. Wilson had also knocked in a run with an RBI double in the fourth.
 
In the afore-mentioned top of the second, freshman 1B Alex Burman drew a two-out walk, advanced to second on a single, went to third on an error and scored on Matthew Cocciadiferro's RBI single to give NJIT a 1-0 edge for the time being.
 
Burman (2-for-3, RBI, 2 R) and Cocciadiferro (2-for-4, 2B, RBI) combined to post four of the team's eight hits on the afternoon.

NJIT cut the lead to 6-3 with a pair of runs in the seventh, but was unable to get any closer. Burman knocked home a run with an RBI double in the frame and later scored on junior INF/RHP Johnny Malatesta's RBI groundout.
 
Junior right-hander Brad Depperman (3-2) earned the win for the Ospreys after allowing two runs on three hits to go along with a walk and four strikeouts in 6.1 IP of relief. RHP Matthew Naylor (0.1 IP) came on in relief to get the final out and notch his seventh save of the year.
