Soledad-Alisal baseball

 This game intrigues me.
 While it's just a non-league battle, these are two programs with league title aspirations dancing in their heads.
 What better way to build momentum for the stretch run than to pick up a win against a team in title contention from another league.
 Non-league games this time of the year, though, are often used by coaches as a means to get more players on the field and throw pitchers that normally might not see a lot of innings.
 While Soledad has been a perennial playoff team the last five years, the Trojans haven't sniffed a winning season in nearly 30 years.
 So yes, all games are important when you're developing a culture. Beating a team that could be in the playoffs creates a better argument if you're forced to petition for the playoffs.
