Central Florida 14, Shelton State 8 (BASE)

Central Florida broke its three-game losing streak with another impressive offensive display on Friday, beating Shelton State 14-8 at Panama City.

Jordan Zech hit a 3-run home run and Dru Jones hit a solo shot, his fifth home run in the past four games, to pace the consistently productive Patriot offense. Tyler Diaz picked up the victory in relief.

The Patriots (9-3) stay in Panama City for a pair of games on Saturday, including a morning matchup with host Gulf Coast and an afternoon rematch with Shelton State, an NJCAA member school in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
