FORT MYERS, Fla. –
Leslie Flaherty racked up four RBI as Florida Gulf Coast University softball earns the run-rule victory against Lehigh 13-1 on Monday.
The first inning started fast with six runs being scored by the Eagles and 10 batters coming to the plate.
Maddox Thomas was the first to drive in a run in the inning when she singled home
Olivia Black. Flaherty hit a sacrifice fly to score another.
Alexis Cowles came in on pinch hit duties and drove in two more before
Maria Angelino roped a ball down the left field line for two more runs, rounding out the six run inning.
FGCU would add two more in the second with a Flaherty walk and a
Camryn Feast sacrifice fly to enter run-rule territory with an 8-0 lead.
Lehigh would put one across in the third but the Eagles would bounce back with five in the bottom half of the inning to put the game out of reach before the eventual 13-1 victory.
The Green and Blue return to action on Saturday as they begin Atlantic Sun Conference play against Jacksonville with a doubleheader starting at 2 p.m.
