BOCA RATON, Fla. – Florida Atlantic softball (10-4) picked up their ninth and 10th wins of the young season with a 3-1 win over Rhode Island and a 5-1 victory over FGCU on day two of the Owl Classic.
In both games, the Owls used strong pitching and contagious hitting to secure the wins.
GAME ONE
Rhode Island struck first, putting a run on the board in the top of the third. The Owls responded in the bottom of the fourth when senior first baseman Zoey Jones hit a double down the leftfield line and then scored on a single up the middle by Owl second baseman Camryn Orland.
FAU took the lead in the bottom of the fifth and would add three in the sixth courtesy of a three-run homer by Kamryn Jackson.
Hurler Gabby Sacco closed out the complete game in the top half of the seventh to move to 4-1 on the year.
GAME TWO
The Owls took control of the game early with two runs in the bottom of the first behind three hits and added an insurance run in the fifth off three hits to send starter Trinity Schlotterbeck back to the circle to close out the game, improving to 4-2 on the season.
