LAST TIME OUT
Logan Allen and Javier Valdes were the bright spots for FIU baseball this past week as the Panthers went 1-3. Allen continued to dominate on the mound going 8.2 innings of one unearned run ball on Friday night. The lefty struck out 11 Hilltoppers to extend his C-USA best season total to 61, as his performance earned him Co-Pitcher of the Week honors from the conference. Valdes also hit home runs in back-to-back games on Friday and Saturday for the first time this season the 1B/C joins infield mate Austin Shenton as the only Panthers to homer in back-to-back games this season.
