According to FAU's record book, Schanuel is tied with 5 other players for most home runs in a game with 3. He might have two at-bats left against the Gators to have a chance to break it 👀

End 8th: FAU 10 (6) Florida 18

Phelps gets a NEAT SINGLE to left field, but the Owls go scoreless entering the 9th. Due to a throwing error, Gators take advantage by adding 5 to their tally to lead by 8. HOPING FOR A COMEBACK! 🙏 Go Owls!🦉⚾️🧢

FAU outhits the Gators, but can't match the run production. Tomorrow will probably be the same type of contest with a pen session expected.

Owls drop the HIGH Scoring Opener but see @NSchanuel SWAT 3⃣ 💣 with 5RBI. Ross 💣 2RBI. Albert, DeBose, Goldstein & @Christiannnn_9 each with a RBI. RP @samdrumheller 2IP 1H 0R 1BB 1K. @FAUBaseball will be back vs @GatorsBB for Game 2 Wed 6PM #FAU #GoOwls 🦉⚾️🧢 pic.twitter.com/6FGlG0bgNR

We gave up 18 runs?????????? Football kept em to less than that a few years back (in regulation)!!

OUCH!!!!!!

Great news scoring the 11 after the UCONN disaster series.

But ya score 11 in baseball ya should never loses.

Keep working Owls and get it going again! Bats, keep it up, arms, c'mon!

Great start, but once Murphy came out after the 2nd nothing doing on the mound. Time to regroup.

The bats cool for the back half of @FAUBaseball's visit to The Swamp. Ross and @NSchanuel 1B each. SP @TyMurphy04 2IP 1H 2K. NEXT: 4⃣ Game Series vs #Harvard. G1 Fri 6:30PM #GoOwls 🦉⚾️🧢 pic.twitter.com/IHCUBJ489N

Unfortunate to see us get a donut against Florida. Let's see if 4 games against Harvard will bring FAU's spirits back up.

IMHO, Tommy Murphy looked like the best pitcher we have thrown all year - in any game.

His stuff was solid with a fastball clipping 93 MPH, and he had nice command.

Will be interesting to see what happens with him down the line. If I'm Mac, despite being a freshman, he will be in the games more sooner rather than later.

Wow. Great to hear. Very excited to see what he can do with this opportunity! From what we’ve seen (and Rick’s a analysis), should be a big boon to the weekend rotation.
