BOCA RATON, Fla. – Indiana baseball (3-3) fell to the Florida Atlantic Owls, 6-2, on Saturday afternoon to even the series at 1-1.

Tim Herrin tossed the first four innings and mixed six hits with two strike outs to go along with four runs. Andrew Saalfrank came into the game in the fifth inning and went the final four innings and struck out four.

Two first inning hits mixed with a walk allowed the Owls to score the game's first run in the opening frame. Herrin was able to force a groundout to Tony Butler at first base to strand two runners.

Miller's two-run home run in the third inning gave Indiana a one-run lead. With two outs, Alex Krupa beat out an infield single before Miller turned a ball over the right field wall.

Two solo home runs to lead off the bottom of the third and fifth innings gave Florida Atlantic a 3-2 lead. The Owls would add two more runs in the fifth inning for a 5-2 advantage. Saalfrank forced a double play to escape the inning.

Florida Atlantic tacked on an unearned run in the sixth and another run in the eighth for a 6-2 final.
