Liking the development of Adrien Reese…yeah he got roughed up a bit earlier in the season, but walks will have that effect…regardless, if he can the control under consistent wraps, looks to be a rising star in the pen.

We need it.

10 K's now over 9.2 IP so far this year as he exits for tonight.

Go Owls!

We are through 6 innings here at The Ballpark of The Palm Beaches. FAU unable to get anything going the last few innings. UF Reliever Christian Scott able to keep the Owl bats in Check. UF 5, FAU 3.

BJ Murray is quickly become one of my favorite players on this team. The kid has it all.

Is that Derek Jeter!? Nope, just BJ Murray during BJ Murray things.

The sophomore pulls off this beautiful move to help RHP Mike Entenza complete a 1-2-3 inning.#FAU still trails #1 #UF 5-3 as we enter the seventh inning. pic.twitter.com/7VbmY9bSa6

Personally seems risky to pull Entenza when he has been throwing some solid stuff. But O'Connell comes takes over on the mound.

LHP Dylan O'Connell takes over for Entenza, who put in a great shift tonight.

Entenza threw 1.2 IP, with 0H and 3Ks.

O'Connell will just need to record one out to get the fans at Ballpark of the Palm Beaches to stretch.

FAU unable to get anything going offensively in the 7th inning. UF pitchers haven able to keep the ball down, making it difficult for the Owl bats to hit balls out of the infield. End of the 7th inning. UF 5, FAU 3.

Defense is really showing off tonight.

What a play by DeSantolo to get the force out on the fielder's choice to third!

Owls prevent a Gator on third base, but #UF is threatening with two on and one out.

FAU lefty reliever Dylan O`Connell surrenders two runs extending the UF lead. The Owls will need a late game surge if they hope to take down the #1 team in the nation. FAU down 3-7 as we enter the bottom of the 8th inning. BJ Murray set to lead off for the Owls.

And we head to the bottom of the ninth down four. Does that remind anybody of what happened last season?

Alright, here we go...#FAU trails #1 #UF 7-3 as we head to the bottom of the ninth.

REMINDER: Owls scored four runs in the ninth inning to beat the Gators when these two clubs met last season.#LetsGoOwls! 👌

FINAL. UF beats FAU, 7-3.

Final. #1 #UF 7 - #FAU 3.

Owls (7-4) fall in the first game of the two-game season series against the nation's top team.#OwlNation should be proud in how @FAU_Baseball forced the Gators to really earn this one.
