Johanning led the Ospreys in the second game of that doubleheader with a 4 for 4 performance and vaulted himself to the top of the UNF offensive ladder, leading the everyday players with a .320 batting average. He is followed closely by Ryan McDonald who will go into the regional hitting .319 and right fielder Ricky Willis who is hitting .316. Willis has provided the Ospreys offensive pop from the right side of the plate, while Johanning, Scott Bridges and Nick Steppe have provided it from the left side. Rhodes has the option of throwing as many as five left handed bats in the order at one time and because of that expects to see a lefty on the mound right off the bat, most likely Belmont Abbey's Andy Scott. Scott will have to face a lineup that doesn't have the same offensive punch as the 2000 lineup, but seems to have a new person swinging a hot bat every week.
Every game there is a new hero.
No matter who Belmont Abbey throws in the first round, he will have to keep the UNF offense down, because not many teams have been able to rattle the UNF pitching staff. The Ospreys will most likely send righty Matt Incinelli to the mound in the opening game. He has pitched two of the team's five shutouts this year and has thrown seven of its 19 complete games. As good as Incinelli was this year, Ospreys starter Tod Ewasko was even better. He earned PBC Pitcher of the Year honors with his 10 complete games and two shutouts to go along with a 2.25 ERA and a 12-2 record.
