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."

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
