Box Score FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Nova Southeastern University softball (11-32, 1-18 SSC) saw a 6-1 loss to Florida Southern (12-25-1, 4-11-1 SSC) on Friday night after a two-hour weather delay.  
 
The Sharks set the pace with Dajia Jones (Jr., Jacksonville, Fla.) coming up with a two-out RBI double in the bottom of the first inning to score Megan Granitto (Fr., Wellington, Fla.) and put NSU up 1-0.
 
The Mocs answered with four runs in the top of the second. With the bases loaded, Dana Mackiewicz reached on a fielder's choice to score Zierra Flodman. Granitto then walked in a run, Jordan Alexander hit a RBI single and a fielding error by Dakota Villella (Jr., Hollywood, Fla.) brought in the fourth run of the inning.       
 
Florida Southern scored again in the top of the third to widen the gap to 5-1. Granitto and Blummer would put up back-to-back one-out singles in the bottom of the inning but would both be left stranded. The game was then stopped for a lightning delay prior to the top of the fourth.
 
The contest resumed approximately two hours after the initial lightning delay. NSU threatened in the bottom of the fifth from a triple by Villella, who went 2-for-4 on the night, but the Mocs followed that up with another run in the top of the sixth.
 
The Sharks came up with three consecutive singles from Haley Gonzales (So., Boca Raton, Fla.), Sophia Devesa (Fr., Pembroke Pines, Fla.) and Ashley Roe (Jr., Flower Mound, Texas) in the bottom of the sixth but the bases were left loaded. Granitto saw her second hit of the game in the bottom of the seventh, but the Sharks could not rally to overtake the Mocs.
 
Granitto (5-11) pitched a complete game allowing nine hits, four earned runs and walking four. Brandi Jones moved to 6-12 on the season also giving up nine hits along with three walks and six strikeouts.
