SOUTHERN SECTION 3-A SOFTBALL : Top-Seeded Woodbridge Meets La Mirada Today
Three county teams remain in the Southern Section Division 3-A softball playoffs, which continue today with second-round games.
Top-seeded Woodbridge (25-1) travels to defending champion La Mirada (16-9); University (19-10) is at home against Chino (24-4), and Trabuco Hills (19-9) plays host to second-seeded Don Lugo (23-4).
Woodbridge, the Sea View League champion, advanced by routing Estancia, 25-1, in the first round Friday. University upset Laguna Hills, 6-0, to advance and Trabuco Hills moved on with a 1-0 victory over Tustin.
Pitchers Alison Ward (15-2) and Stacy Washington (10-2) lead Woodbridge. Ward, who got the victory over Estancia, has pitched a perfect game and two no-hitters this season. Washington has a perfect game and a no-hitter.
University relies on senior pitcher Michele Ponce, who takes a 15-5 record into today’s game.
Trabuco Hills, the Pacific Coast League runner-up, will have to go the rest of the way without shortstop-pitcher Amy Rodriguez. The right-handed senior, who was 8-3 with a 0.49 earned-run average and second in the county in stolen bases with 37, broke an ankle during the Memorial Day weekend.
The winners of today’s games qualify for the quarterfinals that will be played Friday.
