MIAMI (April 19, 2017) -- An RBI double from junior Kasandra Castle (Lake Worth, Florida / Palm Beach Central) got the offense started, and a sacrifice fly from catcher Julia Gilbert (Rialto, California) provided the go-ahead run for FIU softball in a 3-1 win over visiting FGCU in game one of Wednesday doubleheader at Felsberg Field at FIU Softball Stadium.
The Panthers added an insurance run on a bases-loaded wild pitch in the fifth inning to take the game-one victory. FIU is now 35-11 on the season, dropping the Eagles to 21-22.
