Box Score

BOCA RATON, Fla. – The Florida Atlantic University softball team secured its first win of the 2023 campaign on Friday night, with a 10-2 thrashing of Stony Brook in five innings. The victory also marked the first for FAU head coach Jordan Clark in her career.

The Owls wasted no time in grabbing command of tonight's game, putting up a four-spot on the board in the first inning. Cammeo Presutti worked a leadoff walk, then Jesiana Mora plated the first run of the night with an RBI triple to right center.

The next batter was Sara Berthiaume, who worked an 11-pitch at bat that finished with a line drive RBI double to left center. Olivia Peterson, the next batter launched a double off the right field wall that scored Berthiaume, and the rally continued with Zoey Jones' RBI single up the middle that scored Peterson to make it 4-0.

FAU kept the pressure on Stony Brook, scoring one more in the second and two more in the third. The Owls ended it in the fifth, with three runs which was finished by an RBI sacrifice fly from Mora.
