This week I am picking the Top 5 Series of the Week. Here is one of them:

Brea Olinda (11-9, 6-3) vs. Villa Park (12-9, 5-4)

When: Wednesday at Villa Park; Friday at Brea Olinda

Outlook: Brea Olinda enters the week tied with El Dorado for second place in the Century League, one game behind leader Canyon.

Essentially, Brea Olinda is in third, because it lost the season series to El Dorado. However, here comes Villa Park.

The Spartans bounced back after getting swept by Tustin, by sweeping El Modena.

Villa Park now finds itself one-game behind Brea Olinda and El Dorado. The Spartans won the first meeting, 8-2, on March 25.

Shane Fessel leads Villa Park with a .400 batting average. Nolan Hoppie and Daniel Warwick are both 4-2 for the Spartans and Chase Yamashiro is 3-1.

Brea Olinda swept Tustin last week. Tyler Kern leads the Wildcats with a .448 batting average. Hayden Greene (.417) and Trenton Broadsheet (.413) are both having good years.

Travis McGee is 5-3 with a 2.53 ERA for Brea Olinda.

Will Villa Park still be in the race after this week?

(All games at 3:15 p.m., unless noted)
