Baseball: FAU defeats Maine for third consecutive victory

The Owls have now scored at least 11 runs in each of their last three games, and in four of their last five.

Florida Atlantic baseball picked up its third consecutive victory after topping the University of Maine 11-3 on Wednesday night in Boca Raton.

Trailing by one early, the Owls (8-4-1) took advantage of Maine pitcher Chris Murphy’s inability to throw strikes in the second inning, using a hit-by-pitch and two walks to load the bases with no outs.

Freshman catcher Pedro Pages took advantage of a rare strike and slapped the ball into right field, scoring freshman Gary Mattis for the first run and, after the ball was misplayed by the right fielder, senior Sean Labsan to take a 2-1 lead.
