Wednesday's game
No. 10 Monterey (16-11) at No. 7 Pioneer (18-7), 4 p.m.
Having missed the postseason for the first time in 28 years last spring, the absence was short-lived as the Toreadores are back.
Monterey had dropped four straight down the stretch, in which it gave up 35 runs, before closing the Gabilan Division regular season with a 4-1 win over Salinas.
This is a youthful group, with just one player that has been in the postseason before in senior hurler Jack Bailey, who will draw the start.
While seven different players have had multiple hit games this year, Michael Carnazzo has been the most consistent for the Toreadores, leading the team in hits.
Joey Pinto and Michael Mugan share the team lead in runs batted in with Carnazzo while Justin Deal has been among the team leaders in hits.
Runner-ups in the Mount Hamilton Division, the Mustangs hit just three homers and .269 as a team. Mason Mooney hit over .400 this spring.
Mooney might be more of a concern for Monterey on the mound, as he was 7-0 with an earned run average of 1.67, striking out 69 in 81 innings of work.
