GAME OF THE DAY

Huntington Beach Edison (15-3, 8-1) at Huntington Beach Marina (18-2, 8-1)

Today at 3:15 p.m.

Why it matters: First place in the Sunset League is on the line in the first of two meetings this week between these city rivals. Senior pitcher Race Parmeter (5-0, 1.46 earned-run average) will start for Marina, which is ranked No. 5 in the Southland by The Times. He will be opposed by Edison’s Henry Owens (6-0, 0.48). Marina has won 10 consecutive games since a 4-3 loss to Edison last month that came on Chris Czernachowski’s two-run walk-off single in the seventh inning. The No. 4 Chargers fell into a first-place tie with the Vikings last week when they lost to Fountain Valley, 5-4.

Ben Bolch has been a Los Angeles Times staff writer since 1999. He is serving his second stint as the UCLA beat writer, which seems fitting since he has covered almost every sports beat except hockey and horse racing. Bolch is also the author of the recently released book “100 Things UCLA Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die.” He previously covered UCLA basketball from 2010-11 before going on to cover the NBA and the Clippers for five years. He happily traded in gobs of hotel points and airline miles to return to cover UCLA basketball and football in the summer of 2016. Bolch was once selected by NBA TV’s “The Starters” as the “Worst of the Week” after questioning their celebrity journalism-style questions at an NBA All-Star game and considers it one of his finer moments.
