Florida Atlantic softball won both legs of its doubleheader Tuesday against the University of Detroit behind an eight-run mercy rule win and a 10-6 victory.

The first game of the doubleheader was never in doubt after the Owls (19-2) had a three-run first inning. Sophomore pitcher Tatum Buckley threw a three-hit complete game shutout to shut down Detroit.

Freshman pitcher Mia Olson started the Owls second game, but didn’t find the same success as Buckley.
