There's not much separating Calabasas and San Dimas' baseball teams on paper.
They respectively have similar records at 17-11 and 15-10, similar league records at 6-6 and 7-8 with third place finishes, and they both played moderately difficult regular season schedules.
So you can expect plenty of drama and a close finish when they go at it on Thursday to open the CIF-Southern Section Division 3 playoffs.

The winner will need everything it has left in the tank to carry over in the second round, as top seed Colony awaits after a first round bye. San Dimas went 1-2 against Colony in Hacienda League play, and it's safe to say a rematch in the playoffs would be quite intriguing. Calabasas has not played Colony this season.
