Ivy League title could change hands this week

May 5, 2008 |  2:57 pm

The stranglehold has loosened this season, but the Riverside Poly baseball team hasn't completely lost its grip on the Ivy League race.

The Bears can still claim a share of the league title with two victories this week over first-place Riverside King, which came into this week with a two-game lead over Poly. King plays host to the Bears on Wednesday and travels to Poly for the regular-season finale Friday. Both games are scheduled for 3:15 p.m.

The Bears, who won the last three league titles by no fewer than four games, have two of the league's top hitters in junior center fielder Jake Marisnick (.506 avg., five home runs, 19 RBIs) and Arizona State-bound middle infielder Austin Barnes (.485, 3 HR, 18 RBIs), but King is deeper in pitching with Danny Haiker (6-1, 3.09) and Mike Mudron (6-3, 1.30).

Plus, the Wolves can breathe a little easier knowing they defeated Poly, 7-2, back on March 28.
