Seven-RBI Day for Gallegos Leads FIU Past Charlotte

Panthers down 49ers 11-8 in Sunday's series finale

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (April 18, 2021) - Behind Venessa Gallegos' big day at the plate, the FIU softball team defeated Charlotte 11-8 on the road to take Sunday's series finale. 

Gallegos, who was a double shy of hitting for the cycle, racked up seven RBI on Sunday. The second baseman earned a homer and triple on Sunday to go along with her three-hit afternoon. 

Freshman Bailey Grossenbacher also homered on Sunday, which was the first of her collegiate career. Alexis Ross racked up four hits in the lead-off spot, while Gaby Ruiz earned three. 

With the score knotted at 1-1, FIU scored six unanswered after three-run innings in the third and fifth to go up 7-1. Gallegos lifted a three-run homer in the sixth inning to push the lead, as the Panthers held off a 49er rally and earned an 11-8 victory.

The win for FIU snapped a five-game winning streak for Charlotte.
