Victoria Ramos scored on Melissa Mayhew’s grounder to second in the bottom of the seventh inning to give St. Joseph’s College a 5-4 victory over Dominican in its softball season opener Sunday at Fort Myers, Florida.

The Monks had an easier time in their second game of the day, scoring eight times in the first inning en route to a six-inning 13-4 victory over Wisconsin Lutheran in Cape Coral, Florida.

In the first game, St. Joseph’s loaded the bases with one out in the seventh on singles by Ramos, Kim Jordan and Kelsy Gaddy. Mayhew then slapped a ground ball to second, and Ramos beat the throw home.
