Janelle Gonzales and Felicity Witt combined on a three-hitter and the University of Hawai‘i Wahine softball team scratched out a run in the top of the ninth inning to defeat Florida Atlantic, 3-2, yesterday in the South Florida Louisville Slugger Tournament at Tampa, Fla.
The Wahine improved to 3-0 in the tournament. Rain forced the postponement of their second game with Northwestern. Hawai‘i and Northwestern will play a make-up game today. The Wahine’s scheduled game against No. 3 ranked Arizona today was canceled.
Gonzales worked the first six innings, allowing three hits and two runs. Witt finished with three strikeouts and allowed an inherited run to score in the seventh.
"Janelle Gonzales pitched a great game, a no-hitter through five innings," said UH coach Bob Coolen. "Felicity Witt came on and shut the door after Janelle gave off a lead-off hit in seventh."
Kristin Anderson had two hits, including a two-run double in the top of the sixth that gave the Wahine a 2-0 lead. Florida Atlantic rallied with a run in the bottom of the sixth, then forced extra innings with a run in the seventh.
