SERIES THREAD: FAU @ UAB - April 16-18, 2021
The Rundown
- The Owls hit .556 to lead off an inning while UAB only hit .222 to start off the inning.
- The Owls could not hit with runners in scoring position, hitting .143 (2-14). In comparison, UAB hit .500 in the same situation (5-10).
- FAU hit better as a team overall, outhitting UAB 10-9, with an overall batting average of .278 to UAB's .257.
- FAU lived and died by the sacrifice fly, with four of their six runs coming from sacrifice flies.
- Bobby Morgensen was snake-bitten today, as he had three hard-hit balls with runners in scoring position. All three of those balls were caught and he only came out with 1 RBI. He did break his four-game hitless streak, however.
- FAU pitchers only managed a combined three strikeouts over the course of the 10 inning game, with UAB doubling that total.
- The Owls left nine runners on base to UAB's four.
FAU Baseball will be back in action tomorrow for a doubleheader starting at 2:00 p.m. The games will be broadcast on C-USA TV.
