Stats: Here
FAU (36-15-1, 19-8-1 C-USA) finished percentage points behind Louisiana Tech when their season finale versus WKU last Saturday was rained out, after winning the first two over the Hilltoppers. Similarly, earlier this year against FIU (26-26, 15-13 C-USA), the Owls and Panthers were only able to play twice before a Sunday rainout, with the two teams splitting the Friday and Saturday games.
The Panthers, ironically also, played just two games in their final series, splitting with Rice before a final game cancelation. They finished a half-game behind UTSA in the battle for the fifth seed, but comfortably ahead of No. 7 Rice. FIU has won five of their last six, while FAU has won their last four, and also five of six.
In this, the tournament's first matchup, FAU will throw senior lefthanded pitcher Jake Miednik (7-1, 3.06 ERA). He did not appear in the series this year against FIU. The Panther counter with righthander Andres Nunez (6-2, 3.53 ERA). He started the opener in Miami, leaving when the game was tied 3-3, a game FAU would go on to win 11-4. In 5 1/3 innings, he gave up six hits, three runs (two earned), with a walk and four strikeouts.
