LITTLE FERRY, N.J. - Felician Softball (18-26 / 12-8 CACC) hosted Holy Family University for a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference doubleheader at Shannon Dalton Forde Field Sunday afternoon.
The Golden falcons posted 11 hits for 11 runs in the game one victory through six innings, while the Tigers were able to hold off the green-and-gold's offensive pressure for the 0-1 loss.
GAME ONE:11-3 WIN
Here's What Happened:
- After a 2 run bottom half of the first for the Golden Falcons, the Tigers jumped out in front with their three runs of the first game to edge the host 2-3.
- In the third inning, Felician was able to rob the score back in their favor with two runs from at bats by Katie Steinmetz (Chula Vista, C.A.) and Victorie Leon (Sylmar, C.A.), 4-2. With two more runs in the fourth and ultimately five in the bottom six, the Golden Falcons put away the first contest early with the 11-3 victory.
