Wednesday's game
No. 16 Prospect (14-13) at No. 1 Soledad (21-5), 4 p.m.
Normally being the top seed adds a little extra pressure. In this case, it's incentive for Soledad, after some teams in its division didn't feel it deserved the top seed.
The Aztecs come into the postseason riding a 14-game winning streak, minus last Friday's 3-2 loss in a resumption game from March 5, which was all of one inning.
During its county high winning streak, Soledad scored 172 runs, as Ben Pajas, Isaac Lopez and Chris Villarreal sprayed the ball all over the field.
Pajas and Lopez are both hitting over .500, with Lopez having driven in 38 runs and Villarreal 24. Joseph Calderon has quietly hit .441 this season.
Andru Holquin has been masterful on the mound all spring for the Aztecs, posting a 10-1 record with a 1.81 earned run average, with 60 strikeouts in 71 innings of work.
Holquin is also hitting .400 at the plate and shares the team lead in homers for Pajas.
Prospect is in the postseason for the first time in nearly a decade. Izaiah Tilton is hitting .414 with a team high 41 hits.
