San Marcos rallied in the bottom of the seventh inning Friday, but left the tying and winning runs on base as Hueneme won, 7-5, on opening day of softball season.
The Vikings scored all of their seven runs in the fourth inning with some help from three San Marcos errors.
Cassie Pascoe-Pierce put the Royals on the scoreboard in the bottom of the fourth with a walk and a stolen base. She scored on a wild pitch for the first run of the season.
In the bottom of the seventh, Kelly McKay led off with a single that started a four-run Royals rally. Cady Haskell and Annie Newberg each had RBI singles, but San Marcos left the bases loaded to end the game.
