GAME THREAD: FAU vs. UF - March 3, 2021
Great win. Entenza is a star. Hunter Cooley has really grown into a crafty lefty. TV broadcast was factual and respectful to FAU. A good night!
The Rundown is coming soon…

The No. 21 Florida Atlantic Owls just made a huge case to move further up the rankings as they defeated the No. 6 Florida Gators by the score of 3-2. Mike Entenza earned the win with three scoreless innings while Jackson Wenstrom made a beautiful game-saving catch to get the second out of the 10th inning to help propel the Owls to victory.
The Rundown
- Wilfredo Alvarez was on fire tonight, hitting 3-5 and crossing the plate for all three of FAU's runs.

- Mike Entenza was electric in his three innings on the mound. He only allowed one walk and no hits, striking out four batters while earning the win.

Haha could you imagine!? We owe them an ass kicking on the gridiron after last time…
Pitching was stellar today. Cooley was incredibly good and entertaining. Entenza really showcased who he can do. Stuart's performance shouldn't be overlooked either: 4.0 IP, 3H, ,2ER, 6K is a pretty solid day!
