The battle for second place in the Garden Grove League intensifies today when Bolsa Grande (13-8, 5-2), led by 1996 league MVP Mary Petrie, plays Garden Grove (10-12, 5-1) at Mark Twain Special School in Garden Grove. The last time the teams played, Petrie lost a duel to Kathy Moore, who pitched a no-hitter in a 1-0 Argonaut victory.

On Friday, first-place Ocean View (12-8, 5-0) tries to prove that the first time through the Golden West League wasn’t a fluke, when it plays Rosary (16-6, 3-2) at Fullerton’s Lions Field. The home team has won each game between the league’s top three teams. And in a 5 p.m. game at Alton Park, fifth-ranked El Toro (19-5-1, 4-1) tries to defeat third-ranked Woodbridge (24-2, 5-0).
