#LATech 2 - #FAU 1 | FINAL
A tough loss for the Owls today. The team almost had it in the 9th after Summerall's homer but were shut down on strikeouts. FAU looks to salvage this series tomorrow in game 3 at noon.

The FAU baseball team was shut out until the ninth, halved the deficit, but left the tying run at second in a 2-1 loss to Louisiana Tech Saturday night. That clinches the series for the Bulldogs with the finale set for noon on Sunday.
The winning runs came all the way back in the second inning, when a long flyball to right dropped for a triple, allowing two Louisiana Tech (24-10, 10-4 Conference USA) runners to come across. The best scoring opportunity for FAU (23-11, 11-3 C-USA) came in the third, but with the bases loaded and two outs, Mason Robinson made a sliding catch in foul territory to retire the side.
It was literally all zeroes on both sides until the ninth, when Andru Summerall hit a one-out solo shot to right to make it 2-1. Pedro Pages singled, and pinch-runner Richie Nizza got to second on a wild pitch, but a strikeout looking ended a chance at a tie and gave the Bulldogs the series.
“I thought it was a good college baseball game, Mike Ruff pitched really well, Coletti did a nice job", said Head Coach John McCormack. "In these type of games, you’ve got to make plays to get out of innings and they did that. A nice play up the middle, the rightfielder made a spectacular catch down here, and we weren’t able to do that.”
Mike Ruff (4-1) took the tough-luck loss. In seven innings, he gave up just five hits and three walks, striking out nine.

#LATech leads 1-0 at the end of the 1st inning. This is the 3rd straight game where #FAU starts out with a run deficit, but can hopefully turn this one around!— FAU Owl's Nest (@FAU_Owls_Nest) April 14, 2019
