The softball team will open up the 2014 playoffs against No. 19 seed Corona del Sol. The girls are the No. 14 seed in the playoffs and look to make a deep push into the tournament. The game will be played at PHS which will allow the home field advantage atmosphere to play a key role in the game.

Both teams had a fair regular season this year with PHS winning 16 games and Corona winning 12. However, PHS carries the team stat advantage on their side. They have a higher batting average, on base percentage and fielding percentage than Corona does.

Corona del Sol has many players who are batting at a high average this season just like PHS. The girls will have to rely on excellent pitching from sophomore Taylor Vogel and senior Alyssa Barlow, while making sure the defense behind her remains strong. If the girls win this game, they will face No. 3 Sandra Day O’Connor on Tuesday, May 6.
