Twin seniors Christina and Melissa Martinez are playing in their final season of their collegiate career.
On a scorching hot Saturday afternoon in April at Florida Atlantic Softball Stadium, senior second baseman Melissa Martinez stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded while her older twin sister, senior center fielder Christina Martinez, watched on from third base.
As the pitch sped toward the catcher’s mitt, the second baseman laced a line drive over the opposing shortstop’s head into left field that scored two runners for the FAU softball team, including her twin.
