Nick Toney crushes a HUGE pinch-hit home run to give the Owls the lead! What a comeback! Good guy Victor Castillo hyping him up after being pinch hit for too.

No, no it is not. 

😄

Owls give up a run in the bottom half of the 6th and we got ourselves a tied game. Let's see if FAU can get things done in the top half of this inning and shut things down in the bottom half.

Grab your popcorn, folks! We got ourselves a tied ball game going into the final frame. 🍿

Due up for the Owls: Wilfredo Alavarez. 👀 Let’s see if the top half of the order can get things going! 💪#FAU 8 - #UNCC 8 | T7 | @LealLaw pic.twitter.com/taCNNvOd6D

Let's see if the Owl bats come through here. Should be interesting to see how extras effects game two of the double header…

FREEEE BASEBALL! ⚾️

Braden Ostrander shuts things down in the bottom of the 7th and we’re headed to extras!#FAU 8 - #UNCC 8 | T8 | @LealLaw pic.twitter.com/FzvY1Uoyft

Carson Johnson torches FAU, going 5-5 and hitting the walkoff to give Charlotte the 2-0 series lead. Game two in about 30-45 minutes.

A shame.  Top 25 caliber offense.  Only problem is our pitching is performing on par with a meac conference level pitching staff.  It happens thruout recruiting cycles, but what's concerning though is its been continuously trending this way for past few seasons.  

Give Charlotte some credit, they prob do have top 3 cusa pitching staff but they are not back to back 9 runs good.  That's on us.  

Time to bounce back… need to end this series with two wins to gain back some ground in the conference race.

Game 2️⃣ of 2️⃣ of the day, 3️⃣ of 4️⃣ of the series.
