Remains quiet until the bottom of the eighth, when Andy Mee leads off with a double for the Owls…he is later brought home after freshman Mark Nelson gets a pinch hit single…

Three outs away from a Friday win!

McCormack staying with Garton to finish it out…top of the ninth:

Edit: Apologies, Ryan Bernal closed for the Owls.

I'm not a big baseball fan but I enjoy beating the muts in anything.

Looking good!

"It's squarely take the pressure off of us, but as I told the guys earlier this is a good ball club", said McCormack. "We can't think this thing is licked by any stretch of the imagination."

Re: Series Thread: MTSU vs FAU

Definitely a great WIN for the boys tonight…Garton settled down and pitched a gem against a very good offensive team.

Coach Mac talked about breaking down a Friday night starter by scoring 5+ runs…mission accomplished.

Quote of the Day: From Coach John McCormack

"Ryan was outstanding tonight, he tweaked his pregame routine and it really paid off for him and us."

"Colby has been working hard in the cage all week, he took extra BP on Tuesday and Thursday and it showed tonight."
[br]
Quote of the Day: From Blue Raider Coach  Steve Peterson

"Their starting pitcher, Garton, he really dominated us especially in clutch situations. He really dominated our guys who have been swinging it really good. He threw the breaking ball behind the count, ahead of the count and had good pop on his fastball. We just didn't match-up on the mound. When it got 5-1 you could see we were running out of time to scratch and get runs. In the middle innings he threw really, really well."
