Very well played game. Good pitching on both sides. Cooley has steadily progressed. This was just what coach wanted. Seven innings from the starter. One quick inning of relief. Win the game. And all the arms are still available for the weekend. Nice to be playing well heading into the tournament.

Florida Atlantic took the challenge of playing C-USA's top ace in stride, upsetting No. 19 Southern Mississippi 3-1 in Game One of the final four game set of the season.

Here's tonight's Rundown from the Owls' upset victory.

The Rundown

  • Steven Loden claimed C-USA Hitter of the Week honors from his impressive showing vs. WKU. And while he only recorded one hit tonight, it came as a two-run bomb to give the Owls their go-ahead lead for his fourth homer of the season.
  • While Hunter Cooley earns the win with his seven inning outing, Dylan O'Connell and Dante Visconti pair up to close the door on the Golden Eagles, with neither pitcher giving up a single hit.
  • Speaking of USM hits, their five tonight is their lowest hit total against a conference foe since April 17th when mustering four at Louisiana Tech.
  • Struggling at the plate, USM played an aggressive style on the base paths attempting three steals. FAU catcher Caleb Pendleton made light work of the would-be thieves, gunning down all three.

"It surprised me is how bad he started, and then how good he is now. I've seen guys rebound… but to go from .180 to .380, it's uncommon." - FAU Head Coach John McCormack on his C-USA Hitter of the Week Steven Loden and being surprised with his recent strong form.

FAU will go again tomorrow in a double header against the C-USA West division leaders. First pitch comes at 2:00 pm.

Drumheller makes light work of the USM offense. But our bats seemed to have lost their mustard from last night.
