BOCA RATON, FL - Anthony Mesa had a big day at the plate for Florida Atlantic University in a 9-1 and a 10-2 victory over Stony Brook University.
The Owls (5-1) got on the board with a solo homer to left by Nick Del Guidice. FAU plated another in the second and had a big inning in the fourth putting together three hits including a three-run homer by Jeremy Griffiths. Two more were scored in the sixth and one in the seventh.
The Owls were stellar on the mound getting an important seven innings from starter Barry Rooks. Rooks allowed just five hits, walked three and earned one strikeout. His mound performance was bolstered by FAU's defense which forced Stony Brook into stranding six runners.
Rooks, who picked up his first FAU victory, was relieved in the eighth by Ryan Garton who was credited with one earned run. Lou Morey finished the game facing the minimum three batters.
FAU and Stony Brook returned to the field for the second nine inning game of the day. FAU was held scoreless in the first but scored in each of the next five innings.
The Owls scored three in the second, the first two courtesy of a David Wilson homer. The second multiple-run inning for FAU came in the fifth. Ryan Garton doubled in two runs only to see Troy Bubley follow with a homer. One more run was scored in the sixth.
Glen Troyanowski improved to 1-1 on the year behind six innings of work. Troyanowski struck out six and walked two. Both runs scored by Stony Brook were earned and allowed by Troyanowski. The Owls made use of three relief pitchers. Ryan Bernal made his second FAU appearance and retired each of the three batters he faced, including one by strike out. Ahmed Garcia followed and allowed one hit. Hugh Adams finished the game and also allowed a hit.
