No. 18 Orange Lutheran (7-3, 1-1)
at No. 9 Santa Margarita (7-3, 3-0)
Today at 3:15 p.m.
Why it matters: Santa Margarita upset No. 1-ranked Santa Ana Mater Dei in a Trinity League game last week and can strengthen its hold on first place with a victory. Senior Robert Kelly is 4-0 on the mound and batting .468 for Santa Margarita, which also has hot hitters in infielder Blake Leyva (.500) and outfielder Trayce Thompson (four home runs). Orange Lutheran has a top pitcher in junior Bobby Wheatley, who is 3-0 with an 0.86 earned-run average, but he’s scheduled to pitch Saturday against Mater Dei. Willie Shaw is batting .428 for the Lancers.
