Still scoreless after 5 innings, but Brandon Smith has done well limiting FIU to just 4 hits.

End 5th: FAU 0, FIU 0

Escaped a bases loaded situation, but a sac fly allows the Panthers to get on the board first. FAU needs to get their bats rolling soon.

End 6th: FAU 0, FIU 1

Owls get another double play but time is running out for them while they trail FIU by one entering the 9th. One last chance to get runs on the board.

End 8th: FAU 0, FIU 1

No luck for FAU on the offensive side of things, going scoreless in the series finale against FIU. Got to bounce back quick with conference play resuming Friday when they host Tulane! Hoping that returning home gets them back on track!

#FAU couldn't get the bats rolling despite a strong night from the bullpen, splitting the season series against #FIU. @J_schroeder20 2-4 & Emilio Gonzalez 1-3. SP @24bsmith24 5IP 0ER 4H 3K. @FAUBaseball (19-15, 6-6) returns home to host #Tulane Fri at 6:30 PM. 🦉⚾️ pic.twitter.com/tzlDHyDlWe

UPDATED SCHEDULE

The offense  has been totally missing . Team batting average is way below FAU's norm. Pitching has done its job. This is actually opposite  of what I expected.

Man that's rough, we have lost six of the last eight games.

Gone from 17-9, 4-2 after the Miami win to 19-15, 6-6.

 

Stat to note:

We outscored FIU 32-11 for the series and tied at 2-2.
