Overview:

Back to back ASUN Conference series sweeps for the Eagles and it was another great weekend for FGCU! In game one, FGCU scored 13 runs through 4 innings, and Mason Studstill went 6 innings, allowing 3 ER, 6 hits, and struck out 6 Dolphins, while walking 3. The offense was led by the top of the order as Brian Ellis, Richie Garcia, and Joe Kinker combined to drive in 9 runs.

In game 2 of the series, FGCU battled back from being down 3 runs in the 2nd inning, and 2 runs in the 6th inning to win the first game of the doubleheader. Joe Kinker and Stephen Wilmer combined to drive in 5 runs and led the Eagles offense.

In game 3 of the series, FGCU erased a 6 run deficit to beat JU, and sweep the three game series. The Eagles offense was led by Joe Kinker and Cam Krzeminski who combined to drive in 6 runs. Tyler Shuck threw 5.1 innings in relief, allowing no runs, while striking out 3 Dolphins, and walking one.

Marc Coffers this weekend eclipsed 200 career hits, and is the 16th Eagle to reach that plateau, which is quite the feat.
