BOCA RATON, Fla. — The University of Miami baseball team (3-1) suffered their first loss of the season to the FAU Owls (4-0) Tuesday night by a score of 2-1.

In the first inning, the Hurricanes took advantage of FAU’s mistakes as designated hitter Bobby Marsh was able to notch Miami’s lone run after being hit by a pitch with bases loaded, putting Miami up 1-0.

The first inning’s rare scoring situation was the only run tallied between either team for the next seven innings as Miami dug deep into their bullpen to keep the lead intact.

Seven different Miami pitchers appeared after starter Reese Lumpkin exited the game in the third inning, who then handed the job over to Carson Fischer in a difficult bases-loaded situation with one out. Fischer then went on to retire two straight batters to hold Miami’s lead.

In the seventh, FAU’s bats started to show life, scoring two to take the lead late in the game. Miami’s offensive attack remained silent, leading to the Hurricanes first loss.

The Hurricanes will return to Mark Light Field at Alex Rodriguez Park this Friday evening at 7 p.m. to start a four-game home series against Princeton, with Saturday serving as a doubleheader.
