The 31-7 Panthers have had to sit around for 11 days, stewing about a season ending loss that cost them a share of the Coast Conference title.
Hartnell, who hosts Delta on Saturday in a best-of-three regional playoff, is 10-0 on its field.
The Panthers put up fantasy like numbers this spring, hitting .368 as a team while belting a school record 34 home runs.
Kaycee Gonzales came within one hit of hitting .500, finishing a .492, while driving in a team high 42 runs.
Alyssa Seva'aetasi chased the teams triple crown, leading the Panthers in homers (9) while finishing second in runs batted in (42) while batting .459.
Pitcher Danielle Shipman will go into the playoff opener one win away from a 20 win season for Hartnell. The former North Salinas High hurler has 159 strikeouts in 149 innings of work.
Delta (23-17), finished third in the Big 8 Conference, closing the season with three straight wins. Delta was 1-2 against teams in the Coast Conference.
