Great crowd as expected. Marc Stewart did a great job keeping Miami down . Five innings ,two hits,one run. Couldn't ask him to do any better. Then the bull pen. Eleven innings on Sunday, a game Tuesday , and a game Wednesday was too much to ask of our staff. The difference in the game, when Miami had men on base , they scored. Not FAU. Too bad . For most of the game we were the better team. But that doesn't count.

GAME THREAD: Miami vs FAU - 3/22/17



Who: FAU (14-5-1, 3-0) at Miami (9-11, 3-3 ACC)

When: Wednesday, 3/22 @ 6:30 PM
 
FAU: LHP Sean Labsan (1-0, 5.06 ERA)
UM: RHP Gregory Veliz (1-1, 3.14 ERA)


Notes

The Owls are currently in the midst of their best stretch of the season, winning nine of their last 10, including a sweep in the opening series of the C-USA slate against Middle Tennessee this past weekend.

Against Rutgers and MT last week, the Owls’ offense batted .308, averaged nearly 10 runs per game (38), and hit seven home runs. Five regulars hit .350 or higher, and seven had four or more RBI.

The FAU staff pitched to an ERA of 3.00 with 33 strikeouts in 36 innings, and the bullpen gave up just three earned runs in 11 2/3 innings, with 14 strikeouts against just four walks.

Sean Labsan will get the call on the mound for the Owls fresh off his his longest start of 2017 against Rutgers (5 IP, 3H, 1R, 0ER, 4K). For the year, he is averaging 9.3 strikeouts per nine innings.

The Canes do not have a regular over the .300 line, with Carl Chester the team leader at .278. He hit his only home run to date in 2017 against FAU.

Romy Gonzalez leads with five of the team’s 10; he is the only player with more than one. Gonzalez also has the team best with 18 RBI, with Michael Burns’ 14 the only other total in double digits. As a squad, UM is batting just .206, and their team ERA is 4.18.

This past weekend, on the road, N.C. State took two of three in an in-conference series. Miami won the getaway game on Sunday, 7-5.

In the previous matchup, a four-run seventh provided the winning runs for Miami in a 5-2 victory.

FIU swept UM in a weekday series several weeks ago. I say it's our turn to join the "beat-up on Miami" parade!

Swan doesn't fare any better, in fact he also gives up a three spot.

Owls now on their third pitcher, have no hits, and are down 7-0 after another Cane comes in.
