BOCA RATON, Fla. – The Florida Atlantic University baseball team (13-4) is riding a seven-game winning streak and will look to keep the momentum going with a midweek home contest against North Dakota State, on Tuesday. The Owls are coming off their third-straight series win after sweeping Sacred Heart University over the weekend.
The Owls’ offense has been scorching lately, scoring 10 or more runs in five of the last seven games and nine runs in the other two. The pitching has been solid as well, allowing just four earned runs in the three games against SHU.
