YEEEEEEET 👀
That throw just SAILS ⛵️ on Charlotte and allows for yet another FAU run. The Owls put 3 more runs on the board in the 4th.#FAU 9 - #UNCC 2 | E4 | @LealLaw pic.twitter.com/XldNJ21Kn4— FAU Owl's Nest (@FAU_Owls_Nest) May 27, 2021

It was win-or-go-home for the FAU Baseball team, and win they did, sending top-seeded Charlotte home with a 9-8 victory. The Owls were holding on to a 9-3 lead for the latter half of the game, but a five-run ninth inning put the 49ers within striking distance. Now, the Owls live to see another day, awaiting the loser of Old Dominion vs Middle Tennessee.
The Rundown
- The Owls' offense was the main focal point of their victory, notching 11 hits, a .309 batting average, five walks, and three hit by pitches.
- Javi Rivera had a dominant outing, allowing just three runs, nine hits, and two walks while striking out nine batters in eight innings.
- Nolan Schanuel left the game after taking a pitch to the wrist, he is yet to be evaluated and he's questionable for the Owls' upcoming game.
- FAU made the most of their opportunities with runners on base, hitting .316 with runners on, .308 with runners in scoring position, and .333 with the bases loaded.
- Owl batters started off innings with a hit at a .556 clip (5-9), in contrast, Owl pitching allowed Charlotte to start off with a hit just 4-9 times (.444).
"Nothing really changed, we were able to get a big hit today, which we didn't do yesterday. McGowan wasn't at his best, he's an All-Conference guy and he wasn't at his best today. The big hit gave us some breathing room and made the guys feel good about themselves and then two innings later we scored three, we capitalized on some of their errors." -Head Coach John McCormack
The Owls will be back in action in Ruston tomorrow in another win-or-go-home scenario against the loser of ODU vs MTSU. First pitch will be at 4:00 pm and the game will be broadcast on ESPN+.
