Box Score

ORLANDO, Fla. – The Florida Atlantic University baseball team continued to put up runs in bunches on Tuesday night. The Owls dismantled UCF (3-1) 13-3 to improve to 4-0.

THE BEGINNING

The Owls were in control from the start when Armando Albert led off the top of the first with a solo home run. After Dylan Goldstein was hit by a pitch, Jackson Ross lined a double into the leftfield corner to make it 2-0. Two batters late, Spencer Rich singled Ross home.

THE TURNING POINT

FAU would go into a minor offensive drought before breaking out with seven runs in the sixth and seventh innings combined. Ross launched a two-run homer in the sixth to give the Owls a 6-2 lead at the time. They would break it open in the seventh despite only one hit in the frame. That lone hit happened to be a three-run HR by Christian Adams – his second of the year -- that made it an 11-2 game. Five walks and a passed ball led to a five-run inning.

THE FINISH

Ross homered again in the eighth to complete the scoring. The Owls' third baseman finished the night 3-for-4 with 5 RBI.

THE ARMS

Evan Waterbor made his first career start and held the Knights to one run in four innings. He struck out five.
C.J. Williams followed with 2.2 innings, allowing one earned run.
Max Martzolf and Bryan Boully finished off the last two frames. Neither allowed a hit.

THE BATS

The Owls needed just eight hits to rack up 13 runs. UCF committed four errors.
Ross' big night was the Owls' third 5-RBI individual performance in four games this season.
Albert and Ross combined to score eight of the 13 runs.

WHAT'S NEXT

The Owls are back home on Friday night against USF. First pitch is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.
