Strawn is something of a orphan on the team.  He hasn't been able to pitch with a lead since February 22 against Monmouth (now at 18.1 consecutive IP without a lead).  In his three starts since then, with the offense coming to the plate with him pitcher of record for 19 innings, the offense has plated only 2 runs for a 0.95 Run Support Average, handing him three losses while he posted a 2.45 ERA. In his last two starts, FAU hasn't even scored a run with him on the mound (15 innings with him as pitcher of record) and he's taken two losses while posting a 1.88 ERA. All of our pitchers deserve more, and consistent, run support; but perhaps none moreso than Strawn.

We need him strong today...got to win the last two!

Sanger, Kerr, Meyer, Rocklein, Morales, Puerta, Endris, Santiago, Chatham, and Strawn starting today for the Owls (vs. Rice Baseball).

Rocklein knocks in Levi Meyer and the #FAU Owls lead 1-0 early.
