The Meridian Community College Lady Eagles could not find a way to rebound from its early season struggles as Pensacola State College swept a pair of games from MCC (2-7, 2-14) on Friday afternoon at Tommy McDonald Field. The Lady Eagles are now 1-10 for the season and have lost nine straight since winning its opening game of the season against Hinds Community College. MCC will look to reverse its fortunes with its next scheduled game on the road February 28 against Bishop State. The first pitch of the game is scheduled for 1 p.m. in Mobile, AL.

Shumond Hughes added a base hit and scored the only other run in the first game of the doubleheader for MCC. Brooke Dew and Devin Batson each added a single in the game one loss for the Lady Eagles.
