 FAU takes a 1-0 lead in the first on an RBI single by DelGuidice that scored Bubley, but the Owls ran themselves out of the inning when Block broke from third and was out at home trying to steal….FAU 1, MTSU 0 (End 1)

Good news for Owl fans. The Sun Belt has announced its baseball TV package and Florida Atlantic’s game at Western Kentucky on April 25 is included and will be shown on CSS…Block just committed the Owls’ second error of the game after DelGuidice misplayed one in the first. The next batter grounded into a double play turned by DelGuidice and Block…FAU 1, MTSU 0 (Mid 3rd)

Bishop missed a grand slam by inches when his line drive hit the top of the fence and drove in Burnett, who reached on Block’s second error of the night to leadoff the third for the Blue Raiders. The next batter, Hines, hit a line drive to right that cleared the fence for a grand slam to give Middle Tennessee a 5-1 lead…MTSU 5, FAU 1 (Mid 4th)

Former coach Kevin Cooney told me he was planning to attend today's game, so the Owls may have some extra motivation.
