ORLANDO, Fla. - One big inning was not enough to carry the Northern Iowa baseball team Saturday in an 8-5 loss to Central Florida.

The Panthers (7-8) trailed 6-0 before scoring all five of their runs in the fourth inning on a two-run single by Jason Summers, RBI hits by Cory Ege and Andy Steichen, and a run by Ege on a wild pitch.

The Knights (6-10) answered in the bottom of the fourth with a two-run home run by Chadd Hartman, their second long ball of the game.

Travis Bennett went 4-for-5 at the plate for UNI, which out-hit the Knights, 10-5.

The Panthers' Florida trip continues with a 1:30 p.m. game today against Army.
