Good Morning, FAU Fam. Florida Atlantic baseball opens American Conference Tournament play this afternoon at 1 p.m. against Wichita State in a play-in matchup, with the winner advancing to face No. 3 seed Rice tomorrow in the double-elimination phase of the bracket.

The Owls rallied from a 2-7 conference start to reel off five straight weekend series wins, and ride all-conference honorees James Litman and Nick Romano into the postseason. FAU holds a 6-3 all-time series edge over the Shockers, including a two-of-three series win in Wichita last month.

🔼 Conference Recognition. Florida Atlantic landed two Boca Raton natives on the American Conference all-conference baseball teams: sophomore pitcher James Litman on the First Team and redshirt senior third baseman Nick Romano on the Second Team. Litman handled every Friday start this season, going 8-3 with a 3.66 ERA while ranking among the conference leaders in wins, innings pitched, and strikeouts. Romano started all 55 games and led the Owls in hits (65) while tying for the team lead in RBI (38), anchoring a defense that posted the best fielding percentage in the American.

🔼 A Remarkable Four Years. FAU softball’s Jesiana Mora put together one of the best careers in program history! Mora, a two-time American Conference champion, earned 2025 American Conference Defensive Player of the Year, was named All-Conference twice, and landed on the 2024 NFCA All-Region team. Mora finished her four-year career batting .356, good for second-best in program history, with 242 hits (fourth all-time), 165 runs (second all-time), 153 RBI (third all-time), 20 homers (fifth all-time), and 55 stolen bases (third all-time).
