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

No. 10 Orange Lutheran (15-8, 6-5) vs. Santa Margarita (11-12, 6-5)Wednesday at Hart Park, 7 p.m.; Friday at Santa Margarita

When:

Outlook: The Lancers and Eagles meet with a possible playoff spot on the line. The teams are tied for third place and the final playoff spot out of the Trinity League.

It is a big week for both teams, especially since they will both end the season next week against the top teams in the league. Orange Lutheran will play Mater Dei and Santa Margarita will face JSerra.

The Lancers rebounded after getting swept by JSerra, by sweeping Servite.  Bobby Wheatley threw a complete game, two-hit shutout Wednesday and Andrew Thurman got the victory Friday.

Santa Margarita was swept by Mater Dei last week, one week after sweeping St. John Bosco.

Robert Kelly (.553, six home runs) and Blake Leyva (.538) lead the Eagle offense, with Trayce Thompson supplying additional thunder with seven home runs.

Will the Orange Lutheran staff be up to the task?

Will things still be tied heading into next week?

(All games start at 3:15 p.m. unless noted)
*Records are through May 4
