However, he lasts just one out (pick-off) after loading the bases. His replacement Keating gives up back-to-back singles followed by a walk and Nowatnick is called upon to finish the side.
Charlotte manages three runs out of the pen meltdown, and it is all tied up.

We were needing a sweep this weekend and a win against ucf this week to keep our rpi trending in the right direction.

Charlotte scored 10 runs in their first at-bat and took game three of the weekend conference series against FAU 11-5 on Sunday.
The Owls (21-9-1, 9-3) loaded the bases with three consecutive batters in the top of the first, but Charlotte starter Zach Flanagan got two strikeouts and a flyout for a scoreless inning.
Then in the bottom half, the first 10 batters for the 49ers (17-15, 6-6 C-USA) reached, and all scored, digging a tremendous early hole for the Owls’ bats.
That Florida Atlantic was able to keep it a manageable game is due to the fantastic relief outings by Nick Prather and Blake Sanderson. The two combined to only allow one run in 6 2/3 innings of work, and in that time, FAU scraped across five runs, and would end up outhitting the 49ers on the day.
“Today wasn't a great performance, but getting a series win on the road is always good,” said Head Coach John McCormack. “Credit to Charlotte; they had their back against the wall and salvaged the series. There were some good individual performances today by Shouppe and Sanderson.”
The top three batters in the FAU lineup – Tyler Frank, Jared Shouppe and Esteban Puerta – had three hits apiece and combined for nine of the team’s 12. They were 9-for-13.
The Owls hit the road for a midweek matchup with UCF this upcoming Tuesday, at 6:30 p.m. in Orlando, and return home for three games next weekend vs. Marshall.
