GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Late game heroics from sophomore Kiley Shelton gave the Florida Atlantic softball team its first NCAA Regional win since 2016, a 5-4 victory over No. 3-seed Georgia Tech, in an eight-inning thriller on Friday afternoon.
The Owls (45-10) and the Yellow Jackets (27-23) went back-and-forth in the opening game of the Gainesville Regional with four lead changes in the final three innings. Facing two outs on the board and two runners on base in the bottom of the eighth, Shelton hit the game winning RBI single to right field for the walk-off win.
