"It was surprising because I was honestly trying for line drives the opposite way," Madrid said. Madrid, an Oregon commit, said the Knights are ready for the Southern Section Division 1 playoffs. Pairings will be announced Saturday at 1 p.m. **Orange Lutheran 6, Mater Dei 5:** The Lancers won it on a walk-off RBI double by Eric Zdunek in the bottom of the ninth. Mater Dei had a 5-4 lead in the bottom of the eighth with two out when Ricardo Hurtado hit a fly ball that couldn't be caught, resulting in a tying run. CJ Weinstein homered for Orange Lutheran. Hamilton Friedberg and Jordan Kurz each had three hits. The loss leaves Servite in third place in the Trinity League. **Harvard-Westlake 10, Crespi 0:** Ethan Price and Louis Lappe each had three hits for Harvard-Westlake, which clinched at least a share of the Mission League title with one game to play. **Sierra Canyon 6, Bishop Alemany 5:** Home runs by Cody Gallegos and Mikhail Johnson rallied the Trailblazers, who clinched second place in the Mission League. Brody Thompson hit a home run for Alemany, which finished in fourth place. **Chaminade 1, St. Francis 0:** The Eagles got their second 1-0 victory of the week. Jackson Schroeder and Bronson Jackson combined for the shutout. Jackson also drove in the only run. **El Camino Real 1, Granada Hills 0:** Jackson Sellz threw a three-hit shutout and Ryan Glassman drove in the game's only run with an RBI single in the sixth. The Royals, after being swept by Birmingham last week, needed a win to stay in the running for a No. 2 playoff seed. Here's the latest Southern Section baseball power rankings that will be used for playoffs. The fact St. John Bosco is No. 7 shows the rankings are flawed, but don't worry. Everything will work out.
