MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Following a tough weekend series loss at conference foe Ave Maria University, Florida Memorial University will be looking to right the proverbial ship when it hosts a struggling Florida National University team for a single game Wednesday at Harry T. Moore Field at 2 p.m.
 
About The Lions (12-15)
  • FMU dropped two out of three against Ave Maria this past weekend – using a strong offensive output to win the middle game 9-5.
  • The recent tough stretch against conference opponents dropped the Lions into the eighth spot in the SUN standings.
  • Offensively, Florida Memorial has remained a potent squad, averaging just under seven runs per game this season.
  • Infielder Nathan Harris is tied with three other players in the Sun Conference for second-most triples this season with three.
  • Freshman pitcher Isaias Espiritusantos currently leads the team in ERA (1.80) and opposing batting average (.106).
  • Having dropped its most recent game against Florida National, FMU will be out to reassert its dominance against the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) team. Prior to that, the Lions had won five straight against FNU.
 
Scouting Florida National (4-25)
  • Florida National enters the weekend losers of seven of its past nine games.
  • The Conquistadors recently dropped two out of three in a weekend series against University of Fort Lauderdale, including a 20-4 loss.
  • FNU head coach Nicholaus Strong is in his first season leading program after springing a season at historically Black college Wiley College (Tex.).
  • When going up against Sun Conference teams this season, the Conquistadors are 2-16.
 
Series History
  • Florida Memorial leads the all-time series against FNU 7-3.
  • All previous 10 meetings have taken place at Harry T. Moore Field.
  • The Lions have scored an average of 11.5 runs per game against Florida National during their all-time series.
 
Keys To Victory
  • FMU needs to jump out early and quickly show the Conquistadors that they're not in the same league. The longer the game remains close, the more confidence Florida National will gain and potentially opens the door for another result like the February 5th game from earlier this season.
