Pacific Grove-Carmel baseball

 Home field advantage has not mattered in this rivalry this spring.
 Both teams have beaten each other on the road.
 That being said, Pacific Grove is the only team to have beaten the defending Mission Trail Athletic League champions in Carmel.
 Redemption from perfection at home won't be all that's on the Padres mind.
 The two MTAL powers are locked in a tie for first with Soledad with three games left in the season.
 Since falling on the road to Soledad in what Carter Hayes referred to as a wake-up call, Carmel has won seven straight games, including a 4-0 win over Pacific Grove.
 Pacific Grove will likely see sophomore Wesley Noble on the mound again today. Noble struck out seven in five innings of work in the teams last meeting.
 Pitching if why the Breakers are in the title hunt. Eleven times the pitching staff, anchored by Nic Boatman and Dan Harrington, has held teams to two runs or less.
 Pacific Grove is 11-0 in those games.
