FMU Baseball Shuts Down Webber International In Weekend Series Opener, Wins 5-0

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Florida Memorial University continues to send messages to the rest of the Sun Conference with its strong play this season, putting together a strong defensive performance – sparked by starting pitcher Max Charnin – in its 5-0 win over visiting Webber International University in the opening game of the weekend series Friday afternoon at Harry T. Moore Field.
 
The Lions (7-2, 3-1 The Sun Conference) will look earn a series win Saturday (Feb. 25) when the teams return the Harry T. Moore diamond for a doubleheader beginning at 12 p.m.
 
How It Happened
  • FMU got on the board in the bottom of the second, capitalizing on the two batters that Webber's starting pitcher Xavier Rodriguez hit in back-to-back at bats, with timely hits by Ulises Rodriguez and Yunior Sanchez.
  • Charnin kept the Warriors scoreless through the seventh inning, keeping WIU's batters off balance with an array of breaking pitches.
  • The Lions tacked on a run in the bottom of the seventh on another Sanchez grounder that brought home Joseph Figueroa.
  • After Charnin exited the game in the top of the eighth inning, freshman reliever Roberto Mayorca came in and kept the Webber bats quiet.
  • Mayorca worked his way through a bit of a jam in the top of the eighth, as he got the final two outs of the inning while the Warriors had runners on second and third.
  • Florida Memorial plated a pair of insurance runs in the bottom of the eighth thanks to a WIU error that allowed Axel Gomez to trot home from third and Luis Ruiz to hustle in all the way from first base.

  • Ruiz had a productive day for the Lions, going 1-for-3 with 2 runs scored.
  • Charnin earned the win, pitching 7 full innings with 6 strikeouts and 3 hits allowed.
  • Webber International had three errors Friday.
