FAU baseball snaps out of its struggles at the plate

Going into last weekend's series at South Alabama, the Owls had some major concerns at the plate.
Power hitter Dan Scheffler is scheduled to be out for five weeks after a fast ball hit him above the eye and broke bones in his face. Top hitters Andy Mee and Eddie Cassidy had been through some significant slumps at the plate. In addition, the team had not been hitting well as a whole.
But thanks to some lineup changes by coach John McCormack, the Owls put up 12 runs to win their first road series of the season against South Alabama.
"This is exactly what we wanted offensively," McCormack told Fauowlsaccess.com. “We hit two home runs, we hit a couple doubles, we got a couple balls in the gap – guys were swinging a lot (more freely). We are heading in the right direction.”
Colby Gratton led the charge by hitting two home runs and driving in six RBI's for FAU.
With the win, the Owls improved to 19-13 on the season with their next game coming on Tuesday against in-state rival Central Florida at 6:30 p.m. in Boca Raton.

• Gratton's six RBI are the most by an FAU player this season.
• Raymond Church extended his hitting streak to 13 games with a single in the eighth inning.
• Alex Hudak extended his five game multi-hit streak by going 2-for-4 on Sunday.
