OPENING WEEKEND SERIES THREAD: Cincinnati @ FAU - Feb. 15th-17th, 2019
Local Owl said
@Dusky.. my Valentine was away on business on Thursday , so dinner tonight. Today, I actually will be at the Burrow, then heading home. I'm missing the baseball. Too bad because I wanted to see our newest starting pitcher . A juco transfer. The jump to D-1 can be huge. I wish him success. Coach Mac brought in a nice looking new crop of players. Fun to waych them last night.Posted On: Feb 16th 2019, 6:47 AM #385204
Enjoy you Valentines Day dinner, I’ll try to put in a few innings in your place.
Time to go across the street to check out #FAU Baseball.

In his first start in an Owls uniform, SP Ryan Sandberg is playing well, but hasn't seen had any offensive support yet. #UC leads the Owls 2-0 after four innings.

A TWO OUT GRAND SLAM FROM ERIC RIVERA, ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!? The sophomore CF gives the Owls their first lead of the day with a blast beyond the left field fence.
Now THAT'S how you make a comeback!

The Bearcats tie the game with an RBI single in the eighth inning. The Owls were unable to retake the lead, so we'll go to extra innings.
FREE BASEBALL!
What a gritty performance from the boys. Rivera gets on base from a full-count walk, advances to second via fly out, then is sent home as Morgensen hits a beauty of ball to right field that stays just fair.
Owls will go for the sweep of Cincinnati tomorrow morning at 11:30.
