Following an error in the Southern California seeding process, the Southern California seeding reps, the CCCBCA President and Vice President, the MC Baseball Rep, and the COA Director of Championships have applied the correct seeding process to determine the accurate Southern California seeds.
Originally, the Cerritos College baseball team was seeded #9 and were to be traveling to #8-seeded Los Angeles Pierce College this weekend. But, after the process of re-seeding, the Falcons (33-11) are now the #5-seeded team in Southern California and will host the #-12-seeded Moorpark Raiders (25-17). Cerritos, tri-champion of the South Coast Conference, will face the Raiders, second place finishers in the Western State Conference North Division, in a best two-out-of-three series. The first game will be played Friday at 3:00 p.m., with the second game scheduled for 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. If it goes to a third game, it will be played 30 minutes after the conclusion of the first game on Saturday. Tickets for the game will be $5 for general admission and $3 for students from either school w/ID, seniors and children under 12.
The other adjustments were to move Riverside College from #4 to #9 and El Camino College from #5 to #4.
Below are the adjusted seedings:
