Buena jumped on San Marcos for seven runs in the first inning, and the Royals never recovered and suffered a 7-1 Channel League softball loss on Friday.
“Buena came out swinging with a hot start, but I liked how our pitching and defense got on track, allowing only one runner to reach base after the first inning,” said coach Jeff Swann.
Michelle Henderson scored the Royals run in the seventh inning on Alex Pitchford’s hit.
“Offensively, we were hitting the ball well but were unable to find the holes against a very good defensive team,” said Swann.
San Marcos falls to 13-7 overall and 3-5 in league. Buena is 12-9, 5-1.
