I hope to have the preview up by this evening. FAU's offense is scary good, and their pitching is both deep and quality, though not elite level. Their best starter has been on the shelf the past 4 weeks, but that means they'll start two southpaws against us, and they have 3 quality left-handed relievers.

If the wind is blowing in this weekend that is good for us as it somewhat negates FAU's huge power advantage.

I don't see the dimensions of FAU's baseball stadium in any of their documents that I searched. In the Google Maps aerial image that I posted in my previous message, it looks like the fences pinch in quite a bit down both the left- and right-field lines.

What is in every FAU description of their baseball stadium: "FAU fans enjoy the beach/picnic atmosphere along the foul lines, where beach chairs and family fun are a staple."

First things first. :-)

Well, their stands don't extend very far, so bring your own chair...

They will have to host in Jupiter if they have that opportunity. Their home field won't qualify.
