\nFlorida Atlantic got on the board in the sixth when Eli Small hit a two-out home run. But Rice added some insurance in the bottom half. With one out and Robson on first, Aric Anderson<\/a> doubled down the right field line to put runners in scoring position. After Landis Davila<\/a> scored Robson on a sacrifice fly, Green doubled to left, bringing in Anderson.
