Quote of the Day: From OF Antony Mesa
"I try and do whatever I can whether it's dive, run through a wall, whatever it takes to make the catch to help the team.  I just just chase them down…practice is where it's at, you can't do something at 50% and expect it  to be there come game time."

The first Miami batter Everist faces & one of the 'Canes HOTTEST hitters, knock one over the fence with a lead-off home run by Yasmani Grandal of the 'Canes.

The 'Canes pick at the Owls lead.  FAU 3 UM 2 - 0 outs.

Not a good start for Taylor…gives up a walk to the next batter & another blast to give the 'Canes their first lead of the night - still no outs.

FAU 3 UM 4
