@Jack,  you said probably the best mid week start. This was THE best start of any pitcher of the year. Cooley was a master. Always around the plate. Changing speeds. Breaking ball was perfect. Really a nice job. Gives me hope at a point where I was starting to be concerned. Very very good start by a young pitcher. And the Owls bats were got. The 8,9,1 positions were very productive. Maybe our best game so far. Now let's settle into a normal week of ball

And here's the final segment of the contest. UM juiced the bases when Waterbor struck out Miami's Chet Moore.

SEE YA LATER UM!    

Evan Waterbor gets the final out of #FAU’s upset with this bases loaded punch out!

High-5’s all around as the Owls send the No. 5 Hurricanes packing with their tail between their legs.

Well done boys! #BeatUM 👌 pic.twitter.com/5jfpkyNS1E

We looked GOOD tonight. All around dominant team win. The Owls can still have a magical season!

You can certainly make that argument Local! Especially when considering this was the lowest run total FAU has held an opponent to so far this season.

And absolutely agree on the bats. The bottom of the order guys worked magic tonight. Toney seemed unstoppable offensively tonight.

You know it's been a long day when you tweet UM is #5 in the nation throughout the game, despite writing a preview last night that correctly tabbed the 'Canes as #6.

Apologize about that y'all! But my silly blunder doesn't ruin this special night for the program. Thanks so much for following along tonight!

Don't apologize Jack. You do a fantastic job. Keep it up.

Has ANY team EVER faced a tougher 6 game run than the Owls just did, playing games vs. 6 not just ranked, but TOP 10 teams in a row??? Even at the NCAA finals???

Five game stretch, sorry! Texas Tech, FSU (twice), UF and then UM!

I appreciate that Local! Thanks for always being here to conversation with.

And shoutout to Ryan and RicK for their help with the baseball coverage!


Still feel like a schmuck though!
