FAU hurlers hit a program record eight batters

Florida Atlantic looked to establish some momentum in their Sun Belt Conference home opener while taking on Arkansas Little-Rock (13-6, 1-3) on Friday night.

Instead, they set a season record for the most batters hit by pitch, and fell by a final score of 16-6.

“If you’re in baseball this long, these nights are going to happen,” McCormack said.  “The good news is that the scoreboard gets turned off and you start all over tomorrow.”
