My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

FINAL
FIU 3 FAU 4
The Owls trailed Florida International for eight innings on Friday night until a single by Corey Keller (photo) completed a three run rally for a 4-3 win in the bottom of the ninth.
The victory gives Florida Atlantic (31-20, 19-8) at least a shared regular season Sun Belt title, and the number one seed heading into the conference tournament.
An FAU win on Saturday would secure an outright reward, as Arkansas State knocked off UALR 10-8 on Friday.
The Panthers touched up Kevin Alexander (6IP 10H, 3R, 4K) for two runs off four hits in the first inning. A leadoff homer by Mike Martinez was followed by an RBI single from Jabari Henry, who was hitless in game one.
Struggling at the plate through three innings of play, the Owls had just a pair of hits; a stark contrast of the same point in time just an evening before when they had eight.
Florida International (31-23, 15-14) saw their second homer, and a 3-0 lead, off the bat of 1B Oscar Aguirre in the top of the fourth before Kyle Newton (2-for-4) finally answered for the home team in the bottom half of the frame with a solo shot of his own over the left field wall.
Two scoreless innings would pass before FAU chased Michael Ellis (W 4-4) from the hill in the bottom of the seventh with one out, loading the bases off three singles.
However, they came up empty as Alex Hudak and Newton went down on strike to retire the side.
Hudak would find redemption in the bottom of the ninth, slapping a 2RBI double to notch the score at 3-3 with one out.
After back-to-back walks to Mark Nelson, and Newton (intentional), the bags would be loaded again for Keller. Facing a 2-2 count, Keller (3-of-5) delivered the game winner to right center, before being embraced by his teammates afterwards in celebration.
Aguirre was the offensive leader for FIU, posting a 2-for-3 showing for the Panthers.
Despite committing two errors, the Owls showed some solid defense for the contest, ending three innings with a double play.
Bo Logan (W 4-3) set up the win, tossing three hitless stanzas after taking over for Alexander.
The Owls close out the 2012 regular season tomorrow in game three at 1:00 p.m.

On a side note:
Not only would a win today give the Owls the outright 2012 Sun Belt Title, it would also put the finishing touches on a six game complete season SWEEP of the Panthers!
