SERIES THREAD: FAU vs. Middle Tennessee May 16th-18th, 2019
#FAU is just under 15 minutes away from game 2 against #MTSU as the Owls look to secure the Regular Season title! Mike Ruff will make the start tonight against the Blue Raiders. #GoOwls! 👌— FAU Owl's Nest (@FAU_Owls_Nest) May 17, 2019
End of 1st | A solo shot and a 2-run homer in the top of the inning allowed #MTSU 3 runs on #FAU but the Owls retaliated by loading the bases TWICE and scoring 3 as well, tying the game up heading into the top of the 2nd— FAU Owl's Nest (@FAU_Owls_Nest) May 17, 2019

End of 3rd | Another scoreless inning for Ruff! Middle Tennessee loaded the bases with Owls and walked Wilfredo Alvarez, forcing a run. Eric Rivera then grounded out to short, allowing Hartigan to score and forcing an #MTSU pitching change.#FAU 6 - #MTSU 3— FAU Owl's Nest (@FAU_Owls_Nest) May 17, 2019
After giving up a run in the top of the 5th, the Owls are calling it a night for Mike Ruff! Jon Jon Kostantis will come in to replace him on the mound.
