UNF battled back, cutting the Liberty lead to 5-4 in the eighth inning and moved the tying run to second in the ninth with one out, but Flames’ reliever Mason Fluharty struck out the next two batters to close out the victory.
Flames right-hander Dylan Cumming pitched seven solid innings to record the victory. The senior allowed three runs on nine hits. He struck out a career-high nine and walked three.
