Meanwhile, Friday just wasn't the day for Greenfield's offense. They lost 10-0 to Alisal on Friday. The pitching woes were uncharacteristic for the Bruins, who until this game were averaging 3.61 runs allowed.

Pacific Grove couldn't quite finish off Greenfield in their previous meeting back in March of 2018 and fell 4-2. Can the Breakers avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
