CIF Southern Section: High school playoffs set in baseball, softball It's supposed to be a good thing to be seeded No. 1 for the Southern Section Division 1 baseball playoffs, and Orange Lutheran Coach Eric Borba will gladly accept congratulations. But it doesn't guarantee that the Lancers will make a trip to Dodger Stadium for the championship game June 1. "It's crazy," Borba said of the challenge ahead. You're one bad hop, one error from being eliminated. It's the roll of the dice. This is by far the toughest championship to win. In pairings released Monday, Orange Lutheran, Mater Dei, Riverside North and Long Beach Poly were given the top four seedings in Division 1. The Lancers will play host on Friday to the winner of Tuesday's wild-card game between Moorpark and Long Beach Millikan. The championship games in Divisions 1, 2 and 3 will be held June 1 at Dodger Stadium. Divisions 4, 5, 6 and 7 will take place June 2 at UC Riverside. In Division 2, Studio City Harvard-Westlake received the No. 1 seeding, an achievement for Coach Matt LaCour, who resigned six years ago from City Section power Woodland Hills El Camino Real to build the Wolverines' program. Unfortunately, unlike the City Section, the Southern Section doesn't allow the higher-seeded team to keep playing home games throughout the playoffs. "You're going to be on the road as much as anybody," LaCour said. Harvard-Westlake opens Thursday at home against the winner of Ventura-Burbank Burroughs. In softball, Norco is seeded No. 1 in Division 1 and will open Thursday at home against the winner of Tuesday's wild-card game between Yucaipa and Great Oak. The softball championships will be held June 1-2 at Deanna Manning Stadium in Irvine.
