Despite offensive struggles, defense and pitching help them win series.
Florida Atlantic softball entered this weekend’s series scoring 27 runs in its prior four games, but struggled to keep that offensive momentum as the University of Southern Mississippi limited the team to eight runs in three games.
After splitting Friday’s doubleheader, which was delayed for more than two hours due to rain, the Owls (28-6, 5-1 Conference USA) defeated Southern Mississippi (16-18, 3-6 C-USA) on Saturday and are now tied with Marshall University for first place atop of the conference standings.
