FAU Baseball fell to the defending CWS champion and No.1 ranked Florida Gators 6-1 in Gainesville on Tuesday night.

After an opening weekend sweep of George Washington where the Owls (3-1, 0-0 C-USA) only allowed one run through three games, the Owls gave up six times that amount to the Gators (4-0, 0-0 SEC) in Tuesday’s loss.

Sophomore right-hander Nick Prather lost his first collegiate start as he struck out two, gave up four hits, two walks and three runs on 83 pitches in 3.
