BOCA RATON, Fla. – Florida Atlantic baseball squares off with No. 17 Miami on Wednesday for the third time in 2023. It’s the Hurricanes’ final trip to Boca Raton this season. The teams have split the first two matchups with the home team winning each time.
OWLS IN REVIEW
The Owls will be looking to bounce back from a weekend sweep at the hands of Dallas Baptist. One thing that has been trending in the right director for FAU has been the midweek results, especially at home. The Owls are 4-0 on their home turf in midweek games, including two victories over ranked opponents.
WHO’S HOT
- Nolan Schanuel has reached base at least once in 32 straight games. He leads the Owls in every offensive category. In two games against Miami this season, Schanuel is 6-for-8 with three home runs, five RBI, and four runs scored.
- Tyler Murphy allowed just two hits and no runs in six innings across two appearances last week. He earned his first collegiate win with four scoreless frames in relief last Tuesday against FGCU.
THE OPPONENT
Miami is 22-13 entering play on Tuesday when they host Bethune-Cookman. Freshman Blake Cyr leads UM in RBI (34) and is tied for the team-lead in home runs (9). The Hurricanes took two of three from North Carolina over the weekend in Chapel Hill. Prior to that, UM was swept by Virginia.
OPPONENT HISTORY
The Owls won the first matchup back on February 28 by a 6-5 final. Schanuel homered twice and drove in four runs. Mitchell Hartigan delivered the go-ahead hit in the seventh inning.
In game two on March 22 in Coral Gables, the Owls hit three first inning home runs to take a 4-0 lead. Miami countered with seven runs in the third inning, including two three-run homers, in route to a 10-5 final to even the season series.
UPCOMING
The Owls will head to Bowling Green, Ky. for a weekend series against the WKU Hilltoppers (19-18, 4-11 C-USA). First pitch on Friday is scheduled for 7 p.m.
