Six local teams make CIF baseball playoffs

The Huntington Beach High School baseball team enters the CIF Southern Section Division 1 playoffs on a 13-game winning streak.

Almost three miles to the north, Ocean View also has a good thing going. The Seahawks enter the Division 2 postseason on a 14-game winning streak.

Both teams need five more wins for the CIF crown.

Huntington Beach and Ocean View were two of the six local teams that learned who their opponents will be when the section released playoff brackets Sunday. Corona del Mar and Marina also will compete in Division 2, with Fountain Valley in Division 3 and Los Amigos in Division 6.

Surf League champion Huntington Beach (23-4) hosts Santa Margarita (17-12) in a Division 1 first-round game Thursday. The Eagles made the playoffs as an at-large team after finishing fifth in the six-team Trinity League.

Ocean View (21-6), the Golden West League champion, earned the No. 4 seed in Division 2 and is the only local team to be seeded in its division. The Seahawks host Coastal Canyon League runner-up Simi Valley (11-15) in a first-round game Friday.
