MIAMI — FIU's softball program produced a walk-off victory, via a single off the bat of Kendall Catherwood, to open its first Conference USA (CUSA) home series with a win over UTEP on Friday night.
The Panthers (20-5, 2-2 CUSA) faced a 3-2 deficit to the Miners (9-14, 1-3 CUSA) headed into their final at-bat after holding a 2-0 lead for much of the contest. FIU proved its resiliency, however, in the seventh, plating two runs to secure the walk-off victory.
FIU started the final frame by loading the bases with no outs, setting the stage for the seventh-inning rally.
