OWLS IN REVIEW

The Owls (28-15, 10-8) dropped two of three games to Charlotte over the weekend. Sandwiched between, however, was an 8-5 victory on Saturday that saw sophomore Emilio Gonzalez homer twice and finish with five RBI. John Schroeder also homered and drove in three runs.

Pitching has continued to be a strength for the Owls. Trey Beard tossed seven shutout innings on Friday, MJ Bollinger recorded a six-out save on Saturday, and the bullpen handled five scoreless frames on Sunday.

THE OPPONENT

FIU swept No. 17 Western Kentucky over the weekend. The Panthers have won four straight overall, including a walk-off victory over Miami last Tuesday.
