Pal-SHP baseball

The Gators have struggled against playoff caliber teams, going 0-5-1, having fallen 11-2 and 10-2 to league champion and Division III No. 2 seed Menlo.

Sacred Heart (15-11) is hitting just .248 as a team and will likely see Brandon Creecy on the bump for top seed Palma (21-5).
The Chieftains will have had seven days to get over the 4-0 loss to Salinas, which cost them a share of the TCAL title.
As a No. 2 seed in 2010, Palma was knocked out in the first round.
