BATTLE FOR THE TOP
Top seeded Florida Atlantic will take on second place South Florida this weekend in Boca Raton. The Owls hold a 2.5 game lead over the Bulls and have won every conference series this season. South Florida is coming off their first series that was not won, as they split with Wichita State. The first game is scheduled for Friday, April 4 at 6 p.m. ET.
SHOCKERS, BULLS TIE
The first tie in The American since 2022 occurred on Sunday as South Florida and Wichita State tied 7-7. The Bulls rallied in the 7th inning, scoring five runs to tie the game at seven before holding the Shockers scoreless in the bottom frame, resulting in a tie due to it being the get-away day.
