JACKSON, Tenn. --- After multiple postponements, the University of West Florida pushes through weather adversity and opens regular season conference with a 16-0 win over the Union Bulldogs.
 
UWF (8-2 overall, 1-0 GSC) made their way home in each inning to consistently increase the score throughout seven innings played. Seven Argonauts had a hit or more and Trent Jeffcoat and Jadon Fryman led with three hits each.
 
Dalton Neuschwander earned a win after a six-strikeout game in 5.0 IP and improves to 3-0 on the season. In 21 batters faced, he allowed only two hits.
 
Jeffcoat had the first hit of the game that was a double and was immediately sent home by a Fryman single who later totaled for three RBIs. With two outs on the board, Mark Townsend hit a SAC FLY to send Fryman home. Fryman, along with Jackson Grabsky who went 2-for-5, tallied three runs apiece.
 
To open the second inning, outfielder Jacob Bailey reached on an error, advanced to second by Dean Hotz on a sacrifice bunt, and scored unearned by a Grabsky double. Grabsky ran the bases and made it home after a double by Fryman.
 
Hotz earned an RBI in the third inning that allowed Mike Scordo, who reached base on a hit, to give the Argos a 5-0 lead. Bailey was walked and earned the sixth run of the game in just the third inning thanks to Jeffcoat.
