BOCA RATON, FL - The Florida Atlantic softball team opened Sun Belt play with a 3-0 win over ULM on Wednesday night.
The game was a pitchers' duel for most of the night, with Stephanie Call and Haylie Wilson trading scoreless innings.

Melissa Martinez led off the bottom of the fifth with a double, then moved to third on a Shelby Knox sacrifice bunt. Jordan Stovall walked and was replaced at first by Sarah Howell. Howell stole second and then both runners came around to score on a Lindsay Shell double to center. Carnesha Thompson drove in Shell with an RBI single to center for the game's final run.
