Video: Oakmont highlights Vikings were off to a 4-0 start.
Softball is on a hold around the Sac-Joaquin Section and the country amid the coronavirus pandemic. We're all hoping the Class of 2020 seniors and every player will get another chance on the field this season.
We were right at the point where league play was beginning for some while
others were close. We understand that is the time when the real play
begins. All we can do is stay positive and maybe teams will be back on the dirt in a few weeks.
Until then, here are the Top 25 rankings and 10 additional teams we were considering before the season was put on pause.
