MIAMI -- FIU right-hander Scott Rembisz struck out 12 in six innings of work, and the Golden Panthers took advantage of some New Orleans defensive miscues in a 6-4 win in the second game of a doubleheader on Saturday at FIU Baseball Stadium.
Rembisz (5-3) gave up six hits and three runs (two earned) as FIU (22-14, 9-6 Sun Belt Conference) wrapped up a three-game weekend sweep of UNO (10-25, 2-16).
FIU won the first game 9-5.
Tim Jobe went 2-for-3 with an RBI single, and Pablo Bermudez scored a pair of runs to pace the FIU offense in the nightcap, though the Golden Panthers were held to just six hits.
Andrew Richardson (0-3) got the hard-luck loss for UNO. The redshirt freshman went five innings and gave up five runs, but only two were earned. The Privateers made three errors overall that led to four unearned runs.
Kevin Berry went 2-for-5 with two runs scored, and Jerad Comarda, Mike Petello and Alan Harris each had RBI singles.
In the first game, FIU broke a 2-2 tie with a seven-run seventh inning to take the opener.
Jose Behar and Junior Arrojo each had two hits and two RBIs, and Arrojo also scored a pair of runs, as the Golden Panthers clinched the series victory.
FIU took advantage of six walks from UNO starter John Pivach (0-5), who still managed to keep the Privateers in it until the late innings.
The Privateers did score three runs in their final two at-bats -- including a two-run home run from senior Nick Schwaner in the eighth.
Freshman Johnny Thomas went 3-for-5 with an RBI, and Petello (2-for-4) also had a solo home run.
Jobe and Rudy Flores each tallied two hits, as the bottom of the Golden Panther order did most of the damage. The six-through-nine hitters combined for eight hits, six runs scored and five RBIs.
Reliever Eric Berkowitz (2-2) picked up the win in relief of starter Aaron Arboleya, who went 6 1/3 innings while surrendering two runs. Arboleya struck out eight.
Berkowitz also got the save in the second game.
The Privateers will return to action with a 6 p.m. contest on Wednesday at Nicholls State.
