Cal Golden Bears softball has just four losses this season and kicks off tonight as the #1 seed for the College Softball World Series.

Sixty-four teams are gunning to knock them out early and expectations are high. The Bears finished the season 50-4 with losses to Hawaii, Arizona, Oregon and Arizona State.

While Sports Padre feels confident about the Lady Bears taking care of business, ending the season with their worst loss of the season makes us nervous but that is what makes college sports so damn fun, good luck ladies on taking care of business!
