There can be no better way to win a league championship then on your home field against your biggest rival.
Yet, Pacific Grove only needs to look at its football and basketball teams to understand home has not been kind to them against Carmel this season.
The Breakers fell to Carmel at home in a battle of unbeatens in football, and the basketball team fell to the Padres in the rematch at home, turning the MTAL into a co-championship.
Incentive won't be an issue for the defending MTAL champion Breakers, whose only home loss in the last two years came from nationally ranked St. Francis.
The Padres, who sit two games behind Pacific Grove, have dropped four straight to their rivals, and have not scored a run in Pacific Grove in the last 14 innings.
Chris Clements will likely draw the start for the Breakers, where he'll face a lineup that includes hot-hitting Kenny Nava and Bryson Lino.
