On Friday, March 24, UAB welcomed the Florida Atlantic University Owls to Regions Field in a double-header game.
Bouncing back from Tuesday’s loss against the University of Alabama Crimson Tide, the Blazers took the lead in the first game of the double-header.
With only two outs remaining in the bottom-fourth inning, sophomore center fielder Brewer Hicklen was at bat with junior third-baseman Price Visitainer in scoring position. With two strikes on him, Hicklen launched a home run down the left field line, scoring two runs for UAB.
In the bottom of the fifth inning, the Blazers took advantage of an error and wild pitch made by the Owls and scored two runs.
