Salinas-Notre Dame softball

 I'm not sure either of these teams wanted to see each other this soon in the season.
 Particularly since Salinas and Notre Dame will face off at least two more times in league play.
 While tournament games aren't always a true gage, this will be an early pop quiz for both programs, who are a combined 13-1.
 Notre Dame is off to an 8-0 start behind hurler Elizabeth Ray while four-year starter Giovanna Kolofer is stinging the ball.
 The Cowboys have relied on pitching to hold four opponents to two runs or less while manufacturing runs behind holdovers Amanda Laughlin and Marah House.
