Cal, initially lacking a conference series win, handled business to conclude the month of March. As a result, the Bears found themselves sitting at No. 25 in D1Softball’s rankings for the first time since 2018.
The blue and gold are currently in their roughest stretch of the season thus far. Following a 17-4 start, Cal has since gone 3-3-1. To get back on track, Cal should follow the lead of catcher Kacey Zobac.
