FAMU softball advances to MEAC championship game with 2-1 win over B-CU

The FAMU Lady Rattlers used a strong pitching performance by sophomore Kenya Pereira and solid defense, making just one error, to defeat the Wildcats of Bethune-Cookman in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference semifinal match, yesterday. The victory paved the way for the Rattlers to defend their title today at the Ormond Beach Sports Complex in Ormond Beach, Florida.

Pereira pitched a complete game for FAMU.  She allowed five hits, one walk and just one run.  The 2014 MEAC Softball Championship Most Outstanding Player has again had a stellar tournament and is leading the way for the Lady Rattlers who have made their way unscathed at 3-0.

Jessica Nathan went 3-for-4, to lead all hitters on the day. Amber Fullwood and Whitney Farris would card FAMU’s only other hits.
