Box Score

BOCA RATON, Fla. – The FAU softball team was defeated by LIU on Sunday in the final game of the FAU Strike Out Cancer Tournament 5-0. FAU rounds out the weekend with a 3-3 record, highlighted by back-to-back walk-off wins over Michigan State.

Today, LIU struck first with a run in the third, and it was a 5-0 ballgame heading into the fifth inning. The Sharks put up a pair of runs against FAU starting pitcher Donnie Gobourne, who put together a good outing in the circle. Gobourne went five innings and allowed only one earned run while striking five and walking just two.

FAU had its chance to counter as the Owls loaded the bases in the fifth, trailing 3-0. Maya Amm led off with a single, then Sommer Baker worked a walk. After Kaitlyn Cunningham walked, FAU was unable to cash in and get on the scoreboard.
