"To win a Southern Section Division 1 softball championship this season, a team is going to have to figure out how to topple JSerra pitcher Liliana Escobar. It's not easy. She pitched the Lions into the Division 1 semifinals on Wednesday with a 1-0 win over Gardena Grove Pacifica. She struck out 10 and walked none. A home run in the first inning by Annabel Raftery was the only run of the game."
"JSerra will play No. 2-seeded Norco in the semifinals. Norco 8, Sherman Oaks Notre Dame 0: Savannah Gonzalez hit two home runs and Peyton May threw a three-hit shutout with seven strikeouts to lead the Cougars. Notre Dame, the Mission League champions, finish 23-4."
