Western Kentucky’s baseball team evened its series against Conference USA-leading Florida Atlantic on Saturday afternoon, claiming an 11-4 victory over the Owls.
The Hilltoppers bounced back after dropping Game 1 by a score of 8-5, which the teams played to a conclusion Saturday after it was halted Friday due to rain.
WKU now has an 18-18-1 overall record and 9-7-1 mark in league action, while Florida Atlantic has a 26-12 overall tally and 13-4 record in league play.
WKU right fielder Jake Sanford hit a pair of three-run home runs on the day – one in Game 1 to tie the game at 4-all in the fifth, then a second in Game 2 to give the Hilltoppers a 6-0 lead in the second frame – to push his season total to 18 homers and 55 runs batted in.
