OWLS IN REVIEW

The Owls saw their five-game winning streak halted on Tuesday at UCF. Second inning hits by John Schroeder and Patrick Ward put the visitors on top but offense was hard to come by for the next seven frames. The Knights took a 3-2 lead in the eighth inning and held on to sweep the season series (2-0).

WHO'S HOT

Christian Adams was named to the AAC's Weekly Honor Roll on Monday for the second time this season. Adams has reached base in 12 straight games.

Schroeder reached base twice on Tuesday and scored both Owls' runs. He's reached base safely in 11 straight games.

C.J. Williams has taken the Owls' Friday night starter role and ran with it, racking up a 3.14 ERA and 4-0 record. The Deerfield Beach native has allowed just two earned runs in his last 18.2 innings. Williams made a start in Charlotte last season, going 5.2 with two earned runs allowed.

THE OPPONENT

Charlotte is 10-12 and coming off back-to-back midweek losses against Davidson and Gardner-Webb. The 49ers are led offensively by junior Thad Ector with a .353 average. On the pitching side, lefty long reliever AJ Wilson holds a 2.78 ERA in 22.2 innings.
