Pierce, Moorpark Open Regional

Pierce and Moorpark colleges will play today as the 16-team Southern California baseball regional gets underway with eight best-of-three series.

Pierce (25-16), seeded No. 5, will play host to No. 12 Mt. San Antonio (31-11) and No. 14 Moorpark (27-13) will travel to No. 3 Cypress (30-13-1), defending state champion.

All games today will start at 2 p.m. The second game in each series, also at the same site, is scheduled for Saturday at 11 a.m., followed by a third game if needed.

The series winners will advance to the second round May 19-21, which will be played in two four-team groups. The two survivors will qualify for the State championships, where two teams from the North also will participate, May 27-29 at Fresno City.

Pierce won the Western State Conference South Division title and Moorpark finished second in the North Division behind Hancock.
