The Sac-Joaquin high school softball season has ended for several teams while more close out this week. Second-ranked
Vanden (Fairfield) had its finale nearly two weeks ago, finishing 11-0 that included an 11-8 win over No. 3
Sheldon (Sacramento). Give credit to Coach Trujillo for getting his team on the field, but will the Vikings remain in the two spot with so few games?
Top-ranked
Rocklin has seven games, as of now, remaining on its schedule. The Thunder got revenge on
Del Oro (Loomis) as
Brook Thompson threw a complete game and struck out 10 in the 6-3 win. These two meet again May 17.
Bragging rights on the line Tuesday in the Foothill Valley League as No. 12
Lincoln travels to No. 11
Oakmont (Roseville). The Vikings have beat the Zebras three straight times dating back to 2018.
