Breakdown: The Sea Kings (7-2, 2-1 in the Pacific Coast League), ranked No. 2 in the CIF Southern Section Southern Division, have already clinched a playoff berth. They can wrap up sole possession of second place with a victory ... A win by No. 9-ranked Beckman (6-3, 1-2) would give the Patriots a second-place tie and the league’s No. 2 playoff designation, with CdM going as the league’s No. 3 playoff representative ... A victory would give CdM eight wins for the first time since the 1995 team went 9-4 and reached the CIF Division V semifinals ... CdM has not had eight regular-season wins since the 12-0-2 CIF Division IV championship team in 1988.
