Today belongs to Pacific View League baseball.

At last.

With a collective 10-0 postseason record and guaranteed seats in one of the dugouts at Dodger Stadium for the CIF-Southern Section Division II championship game, the Pacific View League sends three entries to today's 3:15 p.m. semifinals.

Camarillo (27-2), one win away from its second section final in six years, will be on the road against Oxnard (21-8), looking for its first championship appearance in 51 years.

In the other semifinal, Rio Mesa (16-10) will be at home against Vista Murrieta (26-4).

Division VII softball No. 1 seed Cornerstone Christian (15-3) travels to Faith Baptist (19-8) in the semifinals today at 3:15 p.m.

Even though the Pacific View League have produced some of the county's premier players Camarillo's Delmon Young was the No. 1 pick of the 2003 Major League Baseball Draft and Oxnard's Devin Shepherd was a fifth-round choice last June its teams have not received the recognition they have long sought.

"We don't hear enough about the good baseball in our league," said Camarillo coach Richard Jacquez. "Like any league, we have some weaker components, but the top three or four teams are battling every year. The only big division CIF champion has come from our league (Camarillo won the 2002 Division I title).

"I don't know of many teams that have three in the final eight, much less the last four."

Oxnard coach Al Tarazon can't remember seeing leagues with three semifinalists in baseball.

"We're not Orange County. We're not the Inland Empire," said Tarazon. "Throw out the records and you have to play well to get to this point. All three of our league teams are doing that."

Camarillo, winner of 26 of its last 27 games, is one victory away from becoming the fourth county team with 28 wins in a season, joining the 2002 Camarillo championship team (30-4), 1980 Division I-A champion Rio Mesa (28-0-1) and Westlake, which was 28-2 in 1990. This is the sixth time in the last nine years that Camarillo has won 20 or more games.

The Scorpions are hitting .379 as a team with 113 extra-base hits, including 30 home runs and 66 doubles. Garrett Rau and Jacob Mahan are only the second duo in county history with 50 or more hits each in a season.

"Our phenomenal hitting hasn't surfaced in the playoffs," said Jacquez.

In contrast to the regular season, top-seeded Camarillo has had to claw its way to victories. A triple play was crucial in its 6-4 second-round win over East Valley. In the quarterfinals against Temescal Canyon, Camarillo won 2-1 with RBI hits from fourth-year catcher Mike Yingling and Rau in the bottom of the seventh.

"That has probably been a good thing for Camarillo," said Tarazon.

What has held up for Camarillo is its dependable pitching staff.

Jon Erb (9-0), the likely starter against Oxnard, has a 2.87 ERA. Rau is 9-1 with a 1.65 ERA, while Mike Sliger (6-0, 0.42) is unbeaten in 17 career decisions.

Oxnard will likely counter with ace Justin Shutt (9-4).

The Yellowjackets have won 20 or more games in three of the last four seasons. Four of their 21 wins second most in program history behind the 1956 team's 22-5 record this year have come in the postseason.

Shutt, Erick Hong and the rest of the staff have allowed only four runs in the playoffs.

Sophomore shortstop Blake Adame is hitting .385 and has fielded his position exceptionally well, said Tarazon. Juniors Mario Landeros and Kevin Newburg are hitting .386 and .383, respectively.

"Adame is a good player," said Jacquez. "Oxnard has a couple of other youngsters that got better as the season went on. Put them together with the two pitchers they have and it's not a surprise they're in the semifinals."

Rio Mesa, winner of 10 of its last 13 games, will start Jordan Lindebaum (10-3) against Vista Murrieta.

"We can't be thinking beyond Tuesday," said Rio Mesa coach David Soliz. "We're putting emphasis on what we can control."

In its semifinal win against Crescenta Valley, Soliz started two freshmen and three sophomores.

The Cornerstone Christian softball team has four players Arianna Drulias, Christine Yamek, Christina Aguilera and Jessie Castro with batting averages of .500 or higher. Castro will bring a 13-2 record to the semifinal game.
