Hoping TJ's okay after that injury, brutal loss for the Owls. Meanwhile, the Hurricanes scratched across three more runs on Adrien Reese and the Owls are down 7-0 in the top of the second…

.@TJ_Stuart has left the game with an injury after just one inning of play, @adrien_reese23 comes in to replace him. 😕

Hoping it was nothing serious and wishing you the best, TJ! 🙏#UM 4 - #FAU 0 | T2 pic.twitter.com/UfIktKcznJ

Not a good sign when I'm sitting at a water side resteraunt and not at a FAU-canes  game. The canes will man handle our staff again. Unfortunately,  we don't have the arms to compete with high level teams.  

OMG.  Just checked the score.

Nolan Schanuel now holds a share in the FAU home runs lead with four! What a season!

THE COMEBACK IS ON!!! 🔥🔥@NSchanuel and @nicholastoney1 both go yard in the third inning and the Owls are slowly creeping back in this game. 🤞#UM 13 - #FAU 6 | E3 | @LealLaw pic.twitter.com/2E1yV4pui1

Looks like Bobby Morgensen's leg is back to full health, what a catch!

What a diving grab by @bmorgensen11 ! 🤩

The bats are ALIVE, with the Owls making this a six run game now! Don’t sleep on FAU quite yet! 😴#UM 14 - #FAU 8 | E6 | @LealLawpic.twitter.com/rXSDywkju6

We've got a football game!

         

Nolan Schanuel brought home Alvarez with a sac fly, now the Owls gotta get five runs with one out in the top of the ninth.

It’s rallying time! 🤞

Can Wilfredo Alvarez and the Owls get six runs in this ninth inning to force extras or take the win? We got this! 👊#UM 14 - #FAU 8 | T9 | @LealLaw pic.twitter.com/YL5e9lp1Gm

Notes

Owls

Florida Atlantic will close their regular season against a familiar foe: the Miami Hurricanes. The Owls have faced the Hurricanes a total of 85 times going into Tuesday's matchup, more than any other non-conference opponent in FAU program history.

The Owls head to Coral Gables having split a four-game set against then-No.19 Southern Mississippi. FAU won the opening and closing game of the series 3-1 and 9-6, respectively. Game Four on Sunday was especially dramatic as the Owls were down 5-1 in the seventh inning before scoring eight unanswered.

FAU landed the No. 5 seed in the upcoming C-USA Championship next week, and a first-round date with Old Dominion.


Hurricanes

Miami completes their non-conference schedule with the Owls having one the previous two matchups 11-2 and 14-9, respectively.

The Canes have won five of their last six, including a sweep over Appalachian State and taking two of three from Georgia Tech. UM is currently third in their division within the ACC.

Christian Del Castillo leads Miami with a .377 average (third best in the ACC) while his younger brother Adrian is batting .305. The siblings have a combined seven homers and 75 RBI.
