After trailing by two runs for what seemed like the entire game, Florida Atlantic baseball used a strong sixth inning to overcome its deficit and defeat Florida International University 8-4 Thursday afternoon in Biloxi, Mississippi.

A two-run home run for FIU would give the Panthers a 2-0 lead in the second, but with the bases loaded in the sixth freshman Pedro Pages hit a double to to bring in all three runners and give the Owls a 3-2 lead.
