Overview:

The Eagles and Owls square off for the fourth and final time this season in Boca Raton, Tuesday night. FGCU is 1-2 vs FAU this season, and won the most recent game played on 5/9, 8-7, from Swanson Stadium.

FAU is led offensively by Nolan Schanuel, who is batting .454, has an insane 1.505 OPS, along with 18 home runs, and 61 RBI’s this season for the Owls. Dylan Goldstein is also a name to keep an eye on, as he hit the walkoff grand slam vs FGCU on 4/4, and is batting .324, with 11 home runs, and 56 RBI’s this season.

FGCU is led offensively by sophomore sensation: Edrick Felix, who is batting .383, with 23 home runs, and 71 RBI’s this season to lead the Eagles. The Eagles have hit 120 home runs, and driven in 478 RBI’s this season, and are the top offense in the country. The Eagles look to even the non-conference series with the Owls at 2 games each, Tuesday afternoon on the road. This series has been super challenging for the Eagles since the Owls have played them as tough as any opponent they have faced this season, but what an opportunity for FGCU to take this game, and then finish the regular season at home vs KSU. Should be another thriller from FAU Baseball Stadium, Tuesday afternoon!
