The MSJC softball team matched San Bernardino with 12 hits in their Foothill Conference opener on Wednesday, but it wasn't enough as they dropped a home game 9-4.

Samantha Martinez for the second straight outing had a strong performance pitching, but the Lady Eagles committed six errors behind her. Martinez went the distance allowing just 2 earned runs.

On offense Martinez went 2 for 4 with an RBI and a run scored while Jonni Cards went 3 for 5 and scored a run. Chelsea Evans picked up a triple for MSJC. The loss drops the Lady Eagles to 0-17 overall and 0-1 in Foothill Conference play.

MSJC is back in action Friday when they travel to Whittier to take on Rio Hondo College in a 3 pm game.
