The Rundown
- Javi Rivera had the best start of his FAU career despite not picking up the win. He went 5.2 innings, allowed four hits and one unearned run, striking out three batters in the process.
- Caleb Pendleton continues to be one of the best power bats on the team. He hit his team-leading fourth home run to put the Owls up 2-1 early on in the game.
- Nolan Schanuel comes up huge for the Owls, hitting his third home run of the season to put the Owls up 3-1. He has a team-leading 23 RBIs.
- Mitchell Hartigan is on a hot streak, hitting very well the last few games. He went 2-5 with an RBI that put the Owls up 1-0 in the first inning.
- Jackson Wenstrom made a beautiful catch in the bottom of the ninth to keep the Owls' hopes alive. He has been one of the best defensive players on the roster thus far.
The Owls will be back in action on Tuesday, March 23 against the University of Miami. First pitch will be at 6:30 p.m. and the game will be broadcast on C-USA TV.
