Lady Jags fall to San Marcos in softball

Valley Center’s thrilling run to open the varsity softball season suffered a setback this week, as the Lady Jaguars traveled to San Marcos on Wednesday and suffered a 9–0 loss.
The Lady Knights did most of their damage in the first inning, scoring six runs right out of the gate to put the pressure on Valley Center. The Lady Jaguars struggled on offense throughout the game, finally breaking up the no-hitter with a double by Ana Luna in the fifth inning.
San Marcos, meanwhile, pushed three more runs across in the bottom of the fourth to seal the win in a game shortened to five innings due to the mercy rule.
Luna also took the loss, pitching four innings and allowing eight earned runs on ten hits, with five walks and a strikeout.
With the loss, the Lady Jaguars are now 6–2 overall and play again on Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. at home against Westview.
