Salpointe Catholic will play for a 4A state softball championship Tuesday in Tempe.
Amy Baray-Rocha has coached 31-4 Salpointe Catholic into the Class 4A softball championship game Tuesday night in Phoenix. Playing in the Big Game is not new turf for Baray-Rocha. She hit .411 for Salpointe’s 1996 state championship team, and then was a starting catcher for Eastern Arizona College’s 1997 NJCAA national title team. She was then recruited by Mike Candrea in the same recruiting class as Jennie Finch, and became a backup catcher on two Women’s College World Series teams at the UA.
