Glass scattered eight hits in 7.2 innings of work. He surrendered two runs and walked just one batter. Glass recorded a season-high 10 strikeouts on the night. Seven of Glass' 10 Ks were swinging strikeouts. Glass also helped out with his glove. In the top of the sixth inning with one out and a runner on third, Glass got the batter to pop up to the pitcher and he was able to toss back to third in time to complete the double play and prevent the run from scoring.
Farquhar (1-0) earned his first victory of the season. The sophomore hurler pitched the last 1.1 inning. He surrendered on walk and recorded one strikeout, but did not allow a hit or a run.
The Cajuns were the first to scratch out a run.

Daniel Cook followed the homerun with a single to right centerfield. Glass struck out he next two Florida Atlantic batters, but a stolen base moved Cook into scoring position. A single up the middle scored the runner and gave the Owls a 2-1 edge. Glass ended the inning with a strikeout.
