Big Drop in Science Subscore?

I just got my ACT results back today and was very surprised to find out that my science subscore dropped about 5 points from a 33 to a 28…which is very weird because I’ve never received a 28 before on any of the practices I did so that was surprising. Although I’m generally happy with my composite score due to superscoring, will the 28 hurt me for colleges that don’t superscore/require all test scores to be sent out?

Here are my scores:
April 2016- 33C 33E 34M 33R 33S
June 2016- 33C 35E 35M 34R 28S

That 28 pretty much ruined my changes of getting a 34 composite on the June test…will colleges look upon that very badly, especially for a prospective engineering major? I feel that math is more weighted and I’m happy to have improved from a 34 to a 35…
