Division 1: (2) Mater Dei Catholic (26-7) at (1) Orange El Modena (23-9), 4 p.m.

Preview: Mater Dei Catholic knocked off South Bay rival Bonita Vista to advance to the championship game. El Modena needed nine innings to beat Poway in the semis. Eight MDC starters bat .300 or higher, led by sophomores Arri Romero (.425, 31 RBIs) and Charlize “Chuck” Masingale (.378, 28 RBIs). Romero (22-4, 1.56 ERA) will likely draw the start in the circle. Mater Dei Catholic won a SoCal title in 2022.
