NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Florida Atlantic baseball dropped the series finale 11-1 to No. 6 Vanderbilt on Sunday afternoon.

THE BEGINNING

Vanderbilt jumped in front with two runs in the third, but the Owls got one back in the fourth. Brando Leroux doubled with one out and scored when John Schroeder did the same one batter later.

THE TURNING POINT

The FAU offense was held in check from that point forward though. Vandy added three in the fifth, one in the sixth, and broke the game open with five more in the seventh.

THE ARMS

Tyler Murphy made the start on a staff day and recorded two clean innings with three strikeouts.
Six pitchers followed Murphy out of the bullpen.
Of the six, only Zach Abbey and Dylan Oborne held the Commodores without a run.

THE BATS

The Owl offense finished with just three hits and no walks.

WHAT'S NEXT

The Owls return to the FAU Baseball Stadium for the home opener against Towson on Friday at 6:30 p.m.
