Cal's softball team, ranked No. 4 nationally by ESPN.com, will play at 1 p.m. today against Sacramento State (16-11) at Shea Stadium.

The Bears (26-3) feature three former Sheldon High School standouts in Jolene and Danielle Henderson and Lindsey Ziegenhirt.

Jolene Henderson, a senior pitcher, set a Cal record for wins with victory No. 120 on Sunday in beating Utah 4-1, eclipsing the previous record of 119 set by former U.S. Olympic team member Michele Granger, now the softball coach at Granite Bay High School.

This season, Henderson is 22-2 with an 0.94 ERA and is hitting .313. For her career at Cal, Henderson is 120-26 with a 1.22 ERA and 1,016 strikeouts in 972 innings.

Ziegenhirt, Henderson's batterymate in high school and college and a Cal captain, is coming off Pacific-12 Conference Player of the Week honors and leads Cal in hitting (.384), home runs (12) and RBIs (38).

Danielle Henderson, a sophomore, is Cal's starting third baseman and is hitting .288 with 18 RBIs.
