BOCA RATON, Fla. - UAB Softball was walked off in Boca Raton, dropping the series to Florida Atlantic with the 3-2 loss. The Blazers battled back from down 2-0 early to tie the game in the sixth inning, but a pair of seventh-inning hits were enough to edge the Owls past UAB.

Florida Atlantic got on the board early in the first inning with a two-run single to right field, scoring the Owls' lead-off walk and hit batter.
UAB cut the lead in half with a two-out rally in the third inning. Ashlyn Shirah singled to right, then moved to second on a Hannah Dorsett bunt single. Both runners were moved into scoring position on a wild pitch, but only one scored on a Madeline Flammia hard-hit ball through the left side.
Carlie Wilkins tied the game in the sixth inning with her fifth home run of the season. Wilkins's homer was on a 2-0 pitch that she placed into right field.
The Owls led off the seventh inning with a hard grounder up the middle, then replaced the runner with a pinch runner. Two batters later, Florida Atlantic pinch hit and doubled to left center field, giving the pinch runner enough time to score on the play.
