Santa Monica visits Malibu today at 11:00 a.m. in what will be the first game of the 2006 season for both teams. Coach Kevin Brockway's team, which finished 20-10 last season and went to the second round of the CIF Southern Section Division IV playoffs, includes ten seniors.
Junior catcher Mike Schwartz looks to fill the offensive vacancy left by Cody Decker's graduation last year. As a sophomore, Schwartz hit .333 with 2 homeruns and 20 RBIs. Junior centerfielder Dylan Early (.443 average) is also expected to put up some big numbers this season.
Senior RHP Chris Fiala looks to fill the top spot in the Vikings' pitching rotation this season. Fiala was 5-2 in nine starts in 2005.
Malibu did not face Santa Monica during the 2005 season. In American Legion play last summer, Malibu and the Santa Monica A team split their two meetings.
