Corona High earned the No. 1 seed in the Southern Section Division 1 baseball playoffs, bolstered by their standout pitcher, Seth Hernandez, who boasts a remarkable 17-0 record. The Panthers, with 39 home runs this season, will face the winner of Cypress vs. Los Osos in the playoffs. Despite their strong performance, they faced a tough loss earlier from Corona Santiago. This is the inaugural season of using computer power rankings for playoff seeding, and teams must have a .500 record to qualify. The championship is scheduled at Cal State Fullerton on May 30.
The defending champion Panthers (26-2) drew a first-round bye and will open the playoffs next Tuesday against the winner of Thursday's first-round matchup between Cypress and host Los Osos.
Crespi is the No. 2 seed. This is the first season teams were placed in divisional brackets based on computer power rankings at the end of the season.
