DELAND, Fla. – A game-winning home run from Chloe Yeatts propelled the No. 25 Florida Atlantic softball team past Stetson for a 5-3 victory on Sunday afternoon.

The 15-2 Owls completed the Stetson Invitational with a perfect 5-0 record, with comebacks in four of the five games, and are now winners of six straight, hitting 10 home runs in their last four.

THE GAME

Owl bats heated up in the top of the second inning with sophomore catcher Corin Dammeier launching the first home run of her collegiate career. The Hatters responded in the bottom of the frame with three straight hits leading to a run of their own and tacked on one more in the fourth.

Senior pitcher Aisnley Lambert entered the game in the fourth inning, dishing out four strikeouts before Stetson added a run in the bottom of the sixth to take a 3-1 lead.

Down to their final out in the top of the seventh, the Owls showed no panic and kept sending players on base with three straight singles. Sophomore shortstop Kiley Channell's single to right field scored freshman outfielder Bella Foran. With two more on base, Yeatts stepped up the plate and launched the winning bomb, her second of the season, for the 5-3 victory.
