MCC dropped a doubleheader to Bishop State (0-3, 7-17) on Friday afternoon at Tommy McDonald Field. The Lady Eagles dropped its overall record to 3-12 after the sweep by Bishop State and the two teams will meet again on Wednesday in Mobile, AL. The games were originally scheduled for February 28, but heavy rain caused the games to be moved to March 7 at Bishop State. The doubleheader is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m.

“We just weren’t mentally ready to play today,” said MCC head softball coach Robert Eakins. “We need to get into practice tomorrow (Tuesday) and work on our mental approach to the game before we travel to play on Wednesday.”
