Good Morning, FAU Fam.

FAU baseball snagged a 9-3 midweek win over Florida Gulf Coast last night. Brando Leroux, Nick Romano, and Patrick Ward all led the Owls with two RBI apiece as Dalton Robinson earned the win on the mound. The Owls host East Carolina for a three-game series beginning on Thursday.

🦉 And much, much more

🔼 Putting In Work. Easton Messer closes out his three-day Wideout Workshop experience in Miami today, wrapping up an invite-only event hosted by NFL All-Pro Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson that brought together the next generation of top collegiate and professional receivers. The redshirt senior, who is one of just four Owls ever to crack 1,000 receiving yards in a single season, used the three-day camp to measure his game against the best in the country as he prepares for his shot at the next level.

🔼 This Week in Paradise. Florida Atlantic closes out its home schedule this week with the final stop of the Hometown Team Tour in Coral Springs this evening, followed by a pivotal three-game series against East Carolina beginning tomorrow as the Owls entered the week one game out of fourth place and with a first-round bye on the line. Friday's game will honor FAU's senior class, while Saturday wraps the regular season for all Owl programs.
