BOWLING GREEN, KY – Logan Allen tossed eight shutout innings and Eddie Silva hit a home run for the third straight game to lead FIU past Western Kentucky, 8-4, Sunday afternoon at Nick Denes Field in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
With FIU winning Sunday and Middle Tennessee losing to Florida Atlantic, the Panthers clinched a berth in the Conference USA Baseball Tournament in Biloxi, Mississippi beginning May 23.
FIU (25-25, 14-12 Conference USA) swept WKU (21-29, 11-16 C-USA).
The Panthers scored 24 runs in the series and banged out six home runs, but with the way Allen pitched Sunday he didn't need much offensive support.
