This week I am picking the Top 5 Series of the Week. Here is one of them:
No. 4 Edison (15-3, 8-1) vs. No. 3 Marina (18-2, 8-1)
When: Wednesday at Marina; Friday at Edison
Outlook: First place is on the line when these two city rivals get together this week. Edison had a one-game lead but lost to Fountain Valley last week. Now, they’re tied.
It almost seems better this way, doesn’t it? Too bad this isn’t a four-game series.
Both teams are scheduled to send their best to the mound. Edison is slated to start Henry Owens (6-0) Wednesday against Race Parmenter (5-0).
Then Friday, Kurt Heyer (6-1) is set to face Paul Strong (5-1).
Strong struck out the first nine Edison batters he faced in the first meeting, but Edison got the last laugh. Chris Czernachowski’s two-run run double in the seventh lifted Edison to a 4-3 victory.
Will we have any late-inning drama this time around?
Who are you picking to win?
Should the winner of this series take over the No. 1 spot in next week’s county rankings?
(All games at 3:15 p.m., unless noted)

Should be a good one. Im leaving work early to get a good seat for this one. Good luck to both teams!!
Hugh (or is it Huge?)…LOL! I think it is safe to say that lots of parents will be leaving work early, several school teams that have practice will be there to cheer on their teams and everyone hopes for a good game. While Marina is a formidable opponent as well as cross town rivals…Edison is solid! Go Chargers!!!
