MADEIRA BEACH, Fla. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University softball team used two outstanding plate performances to pick up a pair of victories Friday, March 2, at the EMU Madeira Beach Invitational. The Eagles (4-8) used a season-high nine hits to defeat Central Arkansas (5-8) before topping Alabama State (3-8) on the strength of a three-run home run in the first inning.
Junior Amanda Akles (La Habra, Calif.-La Habra) was a force to be reckoned with at the dish. Over the two-game span, Akles went 5-for-7, including her first home run of the season against UCA to go along with four RBIs.
