Josey is following in Cooley's footsteps and then some.

CRAZY performance.

Only 63 pitches after six full innings!

WKU with the 2-run homer to cut into FAU's lead. Score is now 6-2 to begin the 8th inning. GOT TO DENY THEM THE RALLY!

With Josey checking out after 7 innings, Nicholas Del Prado was on a short leash as Coach Mac pulled him out following back-to-back walks to have Robert Wegielnik take his place on the mound. TIME TO CLOSE THIS OUT!
