It's rematch week in the Sierra Foothill League as teams are meeting for a second time. And while you can't look past any games in the SFL, Friday's game with top-ranked
Rocklin traveling to play No. 5
Del Oro (Loomis) highlights the action in this week's MaxPreps Top 25 Sac-Joaquin Section high school softball rankings.
Owning a 4-2 win over the Thunder in the first meeting, the Golden Eagles have won 10-straight and are knocking on the door for the top spot in the MaxPreps Top 25.
D'auna Johnson smashed a home run in the bottom of the sixth on Tuesday to lift
Sheldon (Sacramento) to a 3-2 win over
St. Francis (Sacramento). These two squads showed why they are a pair of the best in the Greater Sacramento area. The Troubadours are at No. 4
Elk Grove on Tuesday for another epic Delta League matchup.
The Valley Oak League remains strong as three teams —
Central Catholic (Modesto) (8),
Escalon (9) and
Oakdale (13) — are represented in the Top 15.
