n a series featuring the two Owls of Conference USA, Mother Nature ultimately stood out the most, as rain lead to a postponement of one game and the cancellation of Sunday’s finale between No. 13 Rice University and No. 16 Florida Atlantic baseball.

With both games one and two concluding as blowouts on the scoreboard for each respective team (Rice (34-15, 18-8 C-USA) won the first game 9-1 and FAU (32-16, 19-7 C-USA) won the second 10-3), the rubber match between the pair of Owls had all the makings of a competitive game with both teams being tied at four before its eventual cancellation.
