OCALA, FL – Offense dictated the pace on Tuesday afternoon at the College of Central Florida, as the Patriots outslugged the Pasco-Hernando Bobcats for a 15-11 victory. In a wild matchup that featured a combined 29 hits, CF showcased both explosive power and late-game resilience to secure the win.

The Patriots erupted in the second inning, pushing across eight runs to build an early 10-3 advantage. Juan Concepcion was the catalyst for the massive frame, tallying both a double and his first home run of the season to drive in three. The offensive onslaught kept rolling with run-scoring singles from Talan Beckford, Brett House, and Cameron Uzzillia, before Victor Martinez capped the rally with an RBI double.

Pasco-Hernando (18-12, 8-4) refused to go quietly, battling back with a massive six-run fourth inning and adding another in the fifth to knot the score at 10-10.

Unfazed, the Patriots answered immediately in the bottom half of the fifth to reclaim the lead for good. Tanner Swank sparked the decisive four-run frame with a triple and scored on an Ignacio Salaverria RBI single. Cal Johnson kept the line moving with an RBI double, Salaverria crossed the plate on a wild pitch, and Martinez plated the final run of the inning with a sacrifice fly.

On the mound, the CF bullpen provided crucial stability when it mattered most. Colson Altman quieted the Bobcats' bats over three strong innings of relief, allowing just one run on three hits while striking out four. Jose Paniagua slammed the door in the ninth, shutting down Pasco-Hernando with a perfect frame and striking out the side to seal the victory.
