In the second round of the Conference USA tournament, FAU is still undefeated as they beat Western Kentucky, 6-1.
While the Owls offense has been electric throughout the season and the start of the tournament, the pitching was the huge standout from last night. Mike Ruff got the start yesterday and was nothing short of fantastic. With a pitch count of 116, he fanned 11 batters while walking three and earning one run. He pitched well into the eighth inning.
The one hiccup for Ruff came in the third inning, when he allowed a sacrifice fly to WKU’s Ray Zuberer that loaded the bases.
