Breakdown: The No. 2-seeded Sea Kings (8-1-1), unbeaten in their last six games, are making their first playoff appearance since 2008. That year they reached the semifinals in Coach Jason Hitchens’ first year at the helm … CdM, the Pacific Coast League champion, went unbeaten in league at 4-0-1 … Ocean View (7-3) finished second in the Golden West League and is the league’s No. 3 entry … The last time CdM played for a section championship was in 1989, when it completed back-to-back championships.
