A couple of years ago, she was the top pitcher for the Bradshaw Mountain Lady Bears softball team. Today, Yas Bernal is again the top pitcher for the Lady Bears—but these Lady Bears are the ones from Phoenix College.
Now in her sophomore season, Bernal has a 24-3 record with a 2.27 ERA, 16 complete games, 175 strikeouts, and 24 walks in 151 innings. Teaming with freshman Maddison Peter, who’s 21-0, the pair have helped Phoenix College to an overall 51-4 record, a 37-3 conference record, and the top spot in Division Two of the ACCAC. The Lady Bears are also ranked number five in the latest JUCO national poll.
During her career at Bradshaw Mountain, Bernal posted 291 strikeouts and was a two-time All-Grand Canyon Region First Team selection. She was also an all-region honorable mention in basketball.
