A five-run sixth inning has enabled defending Southern Section Division I champion Long Beach Wilson to take a 9-0 lead over Edison in a playoff opener at Blair Field.

Two-run doubles by Zach Wilson and David Terrazas have given pitcher Aaron Hicks a comfortable lead. The Bruins had been unable to break open the game against Edison right-hander Kurt Heyer until he seemed to tire in the sixth, then got two doubles off his replacement, freshman Henry Owens.

Hicks has come off the mound in the top of the seventh after striking out seven, walking four and giving up only four hits.
