BOCA RATON, Fla. — Florida Atlantic knocked off No. 22 Miami 6-5 at home Tuesday night.

The Owls snapped Miami's seven-game winning streak.

The Hurricanes pulled ahead with three runs in the sixth, but Schanuel's second home run of the game tied the game 5-5.

FAU (7-1) scored the game-winning run when Mithcell Hartigan hit a single up the middle to send Jackson Ross home.

Schanuel finished the night 3-for-4 with two homers and Marc DeGusipe earned the win in relief, improving to 2-0 on the season. He walked two and allowed two hits but did not concede a run in two full innings.

Robert Wegielnik picked up the save and Miami's Ronaldo Gallo was credited with the loss.
