Marshall University baseball dropped two of its three games to No. 16 Florida Atlantic University over the weekend. The Herd lost the first game of the series, 6-3, in extra innings, fell 10-2 in the second game, but responded to salvage a win in the 7-2 victory in the series finale.
The Herd (18-15, 8-7) opened its series against the nationally-ranked Owls with a bout that extended over the course of 11 innings before FAU added three runs in the top half of the inning.
Marshall pitcher Burris Warner collected two outs in the eleventh, but a mishandled ground ball by second baseman DJ Gee allowed one run to score before FAU slapped back-to-back singles to bring in two more runs.
