The Eagles answered with 6 runs of their own in the bottom of the 6th as Castanon and Bailey Heuer both knocked home two runs a piece while Harris and Carolina Blanco both drove in one. Robinson picked up another pitching win for the Eagles. In game two Friday MSJC dominated from the start scoring two runs in the bottom of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd to grab a 6-0 lead, they would end the game early when they tacked on two more in the 6th for the 8-0 victory. Stephanie Wagner earned the win in the circle going 4 innings.
Tuesday the Eagles saw their seven game winning streak snapped as they lost to San Diego Mesa 5-4 in the first game of a double dip.
