In a series featuring the two Owls of Conference USA, Mother Nature ultimately stood out the most, as rain lead to a postponement of one game and the cancellation of Sunday’s finale between No. 13 Rice University and No. 16 Florida Atlantic baseball.
The University of Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles came to Boca Raton on Friday with a two-game lead over Florida Atlantic baseball and were one game ahead of Rice University, for the top spot of the Conference USA standings.
College baseball has reached the midway point of the season and Florida Atlantic’s team sits in a first-place tie for the Conference USA lead and is ranked No. 12 in the nation, according to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association.
With less than a full year at Florida Atlantic under his belt, sophomore Marc Stewart is already becoming the go-to guy on the mound for head baseball coach John McCormack.
