With five games remaining in the regular season, the race for the Big 8 Conference softball title is shaping up to have an epic finish.
Sierra (28-7, 16-3) and Delta College (22-12, 16-3) currently sit atop the standings and will face off twice in the final week of the regular season. The Wolverines will host the Mustangs for a doubleheader on Saturday, April 21 (12pm).
Sierra is currently ranked third in California and second in Northern California. Delta is 6th in the NorCal rankings.

She has 132 strikeouts (7th) in 136.1 innings and an earned run average of 1.54 (9th).
