Alisal-Alvarez baseball

Thanks to a six game winning streak -- its longest in over two decades -- Alisal has already surpassed last year's entire win total.
 Are the Trojans ready to make a postseason push?
 Alvarez is, having jumped out to a 6-2 Pacific Division start.
 Two of the more improved teams in the county square off today in what is no longer just another game.
 Both teams are 8-4 overall.
 Last year, 12 wins would have gotten either team into the playoffs.
 J.C. Maravillo continues to sting the ball at the plate for Alisal along with Lorenzo Nova.
 The Eagles have rattled off three straight wins, including a decision over previously unbeaten Watsonville.
 Ricky Torres has been solid in his last three outings for Alvarez, striking out 15. Gonzalo Rocha has had some clutch hits along with Andrew Garcia.
