The MSJC softball team kicked off their 2024 season on Tuesday by going on the road and sweeping Glendale College in a non-conference doubleheader.

In the first game, the Eagles trailed 1-0 after five innings, but rallied for two runs in the top of the 6th and added one more in the top of the 7th to pull out the 3-1 victory.  Annalie Castanon and Carolina Blanco each drove in a run in the sixth and Bailey Heuer scored on an error in the 7th to give MSJC the win.  The pitching duo of Marissa Sanchez and Trinity Robinson combined to allow just one run and 5 hits.  Robinson went 4 innings to earn the win in the circle while Sanchez went 3.

In game two the Eagle offense came alive as they won 11-3 in six innings.  Blanco, Azaylea Carrasco, and Isabella Harris each had a pair of RBIs for MSJC.  Natalie Juarez had two doubles, an RBI, and scored 4 runs while Castanon crossed the plate three times as the Eagles scored at least one run in every inning.  Stephanie Wagner went the distance in the circle as she threw 6 innings, allowed 3 earned runs on 8 hits, and struck out 2.

The Eagles, now 2-0 on the season, will be back in action Wednesday February 7th when they travel to Santa Ana for a 2 pm game.  MSJC's home opener is scheduled for Friday February 9th in Menifee when they host Palomar also at 2 o'clock.
