MIAMI (Mar. 7, 2023) – Baseball is back at FIU Baseball Stadium on Wednesday March 8 to take on Stetson. First pitch is set for 5 p.m.
 
WILD WEEKEND
The Panther's hosted Harvard last week in what was an eventful four-game series.
 
The series began with an extra-innings walk-off win for FIU, 4-3. Game two saw an explosion of offense from both teams as the Panther's would come away with another walk-off win, 18-17. The final game was the second to extra innings and the third to see FIU win via walk-off, 9-7.
 
In all, the two teams played 40 innings and scored 67 runs with the Panthers taking all four for the first series sweep of the season.
 
FAB FIVE
FIU currently boast five players hitting .280 or above after 13 games.
 
Redshirt senior Mike Rosario and junior Adrian Figueroa are tied for the team lead in hits with 18, with Figueroa edging Rosario out for the top average by just .007 with a .367.
 
Junior Ryne Guida leads the Panthers in RBI with 14, has earned 14 hits in 49 at bats.
 
Junior Dante Girardi is hitting .280 thus far and leads the team with nine walks. He also leads FIU in runs scored with 14.
 
Redshirt senior Alec Sanchez is 11-35 this season for a .314 average.
 
HEATING UP
Redshirt junior Henry Wallen has been one of the team's top defensive players and now has a hot bat. In five games last week he went 6-16, with 11 RBI, a grand slam and at least one hit in all five games.
 
Wallen's sure-handed infield partner Steven Ondina hit well last week too. The shortstop picked up six hits to go with five RBI and the walk-off single to win the Harvard series finale.
 
THE ARMS
FIU's starters had a strong last week as the Panthers went 4-1.
 
Redshirt junior Ryan Cabarcas threw seven innings and was strong against Harvard, striking out eight and allowing only three runs.
 
Redshirt senior Christian Santana was stellar against Harvard throwing three clean innings and striking out five in a win.
 
Redshirt Angel Tiburcio earned his first win of the season after throwing five innings against Harvard, allowing only one run and striking out six.
 
SCOUTING THE HATTER
Stetson is 9-4 this season and are coming off a 10-4 win over Mount St. Mary's.
