Florida Memorial Softball Unable To Topple No. 19 Southeastern, Drops Two Saturday; Loses Series

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Having moved up the time of Saturday's doubleheader to avoid inclement weather, the midday heat of the South Florida sun was just a tough as visiting No. 19 Southeastern University was as Florida Memorial University dropped both games at Carol City Park – sealing a series sweep loss for the Lions.
 
How It Happened – Game One (SEU 11, FMU 2)
  • Like Friday's single game, FMU fell behind early with Southeastern scoring multiple runs in the first two innings.
  • The Lions saw its deficit grow through the third and fourth innings but did hold SEU to just one run in each inning.
  • Southeastern's one run in the fourth was a solo inside-the-park home run.
  • Florida Memorial got on the board in the bottom of the fifth on a Heidy Olivo RBI single through the right side.
  • Scarlett Montalvo drove in a run on the next at bat with an infield single to make it an 11-2 game.
  • The game ended after the fifth as the eight-run mercy rule was already active.
 
How It Happened – Game Two (SEU 9, FMU 0)
  • SEU jumped out to an 8-0 lead by the end of the second inning, getting a home run in each inning.
  • Florida Memorial was charged with four errors, which led to two Fire runs.
  • The Lions did snap what had become a 12-inning streak for innings with at least a run scored by holding Southeastern scoreless in the top of the third.
  • FMU failed to register any hits in the second game, which ended after the fifth inning because the eight-run rule was active.
 
Inside The Box Score – Game One
  • Trinity Hobley was one of four Lions' players to record a hit, going 1-for-1 and drawing a walk.
  • Olivo, Montalvo, and Karah Atkins all went 1-for-3.
  • Bridgette Tuxbury pitched all five innings in game one.
  • SEU's Katie Atkins went 3-for-4 and was a triple shy of hitting for the cycle.
 
Inside The Box Score – Game Two
  • Montalvo and Emily Albelo each drew a walk.
  • Two Southeastern pitchers combined to throw the no-hit, shutout.
  • Lions starting pitcher Aashana Francis recorded 2 strikeouts.
 
Analysis & Notes
  • Game two Saturday marked the first time this season that Florida Memorial was no-hit.
  • It was also only the second time this year that FMU was shutout in a game.
  • Francis returned to FMU's lineup as a pitcher for the first time in nearly two weeks after dealing with an upper extremity injury. She did play other positions during that span.
  • Florida Memorial fell to 1-18 overall and 0-15 in the Sun Conference.
  • No. 19 Southeastern improved to 28-7 overall and 12-3 in the Sun Conference.
 
Up Next
The Lions are scheduled to play their first-ever games against local rival Florida National University in a midweek doubleheader Wednesday (April 6th).
