Just logged on to fauowlsnest. Basketball and baseball winning. Feel a good that we have serious athletics. Proud to be an owlPosted On: Feb 27th 2021, 6:28 PM #400790
It's a great time to be an Owl, that's for sure! Women's basketball is playing the best they've played in years. Men's soccer has yet to lose this campaign. Spring football starts soon. AND we're living in Paradise!
There's the go-ahead! The Owls retake the lead thanks to a @JaredDeSantolo RBI single. We're stretching in Paradise as Hunter Cooley does his job on the mound.#SHU 9 - #FAU 10 | M7 | @LealLaw pic.twitter.com/XtO3maBssE

The Rundown
- Nolan Schanuel stole the show tonight, hitting 3-6 with six RBIs and two home runs.
- Coach Mac talked about B.J. Murray's power in yesterday's presser, and he delivered tonight. He hit 2-3 with a homer and two RBI, also drawing three walks.
- Javi Rivera struggled in the fourth inning, giving up seven of the eight runs that the Pirates scored in the fourth inning.
- Nicholas Del Prado came into the Top of the ninth with a 17-9 lead and left the game after allowing five earned runs and not recording a single out. Mike Entenza had to come into the game to close it after Sam Drumheller recorded two outs and gave up a hit.
- Sam Low shined in his first collegiate start. He went 2-4 with two RBIs and a walk.
"[I told Nolan] don't do too much, just take your time, get a good pitch, we don't need heroes, although, he becomes the hero right there." -head Coach John McCormack on what he told Nolan Schanuel before his two home runs.
The Owls will look to close up the sweep against the Pirates tomorrow at 12 PM. The game will be broadcast on C-USA TV.
