The 11-inning affair marked FAU’s third extra-inning game in its last five outings.
Trailing by one run at the top of the ninth inning, Florida Atlantic sophomore right fielder Jose Bonilla Traverso stepped up to the plate with two outs. He laced the game-tying single to left field, pushing the No. 16 Owls into their third extra-inning game in their last five games.
FAU (23-7) would go on to play two more innings before a single from Florida Gulf Coast University (16-17) sophomore left fielder Zach Spivey brought home sophomore center fielder Gage Morey for the game-winning run in the bottom of the 11th inning, as the Owls fell 3-2.
