OCALA, FL – The College of Central Florida Patriots showcased a relentless offensive attack on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, dismantling A3 Academy with a commanding 15-2 victory at Goodlett Field. The Patriots combined elite plate discipline with timely hitting to put the game away early, scoring 13 of their 15 runs in just the third and fourth innings.

Offensive Fireworks

The Patriots' lineup was firing on all cylinders, led by center fielder Talan Beckford, who spearheaded the effort with 4 RBIs and a double. Other key offensive contributors included:

• Victor Martinez: Finished 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored.

• Cal Johnson: Contributed a double and an RBI while crossing the plate twice.

• Bruno Schafer: Showed great patience and impact, drawing two walks and scoring three times.

• Balint Piros: Added a hit and an RBI, scoring twice in the blowout.

Central Florida capitalized on 10 walks and 4 hit-by-pitches issued by A3 Academy pitchers, effectively keeping the pressure on the bases throughout the evening.

Masterful Pitching

While the offense grabbed the headlines, the Patriots' pitching staff was nearly perfect. They held A3 Academy to just one hit over seven innings of work. The staff combined for 6 strikeouts and navigated through the few base runners allowed with precision. A3 Academy's only runs came late in the 7th inning following a bases-loaded wild pitch and an RBI single by Sebastian Echeverry, the visitors' lone hit of the night.

Looking Ahead: Conference Play Begins

With this non-conference victory in the books, the Patriots now turn their attention to the most critical stretch of the season. College of Central Florida is set to begin their highly anticipated Citrus Conference schedule this Thursday. They will face off against Miami Dade College in Miami at 4 pm, looking to carry the momentum from this 15-run performance into league play. The Pats will return home on Saturday to play Miami Dade in a double header starting at 11 am.
