By Brian Reed-Baiotto, Sports Editor<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Some six weeks after the start of the spring sports season, all Pasadena area baseball and softball teams will finally have started their respective league races.<\/p>\n

Most leagues have already begun, but Flintridge Sacred Heart softball in the Mission League and Pasadena and Muir in baseball (Pacific League) get underway today (Tuesday).<\/p>\n

Baseball:<\/strong><\/p>\n

** The most compelling game of the day is a Del Rey League showdown between the co-league leaders.<\/p>\n

La Salle is 5-5 overall, but most importantly, the Lancers have started league play 2-0, after wins over Serra and St. Paul.<\/p>\n

Ethan Patrick has led the offense, but the Lancers are getting solid pitching and timely hitting of late from their entire lineup.<\/p>\n

Bishop Amat (6-4, 2-0) has league wins over St. Paul and Cathedral.<\/p>\n

Amat earned those two road victories by a margin of 12-2.<\/p>\n

** Maranatha (8-2, 3-1) holds a share of the Olympic League lead with Village Christian, a team the Minutemen beat on the road in 8 innings last week.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Maranatha will host Whittier Christian (9-6, 2-2) at 6 p.m.<\/p>\n

The Heralds defeated Maranatha, 7-6, in their first match up on March 10.<\/p>\n

** After a dismal 0-7 start, St. Francis started Mission League play with two wins over Crespi.<\/p>\n

The Celts managed to avoid a sweep on Friday, defeating the Golden Knights, 5-2, in their three-game league series.<\/p>\n

St. Francis (2-8, 2-1) holds a third-place spot in league, and can do themselves a big favor by winning another series.<\/p>\n

The Golden Knights and Chaminade (7-3-1, 2-2-1) begin the first of their three game series today at the Glendale Sports Complex at 3:30.<\/p>\n

St. Francis has started to turn the corner and has seen dramatic improvements in both their pitching and hitting.<\/p>\n

Softball:<\/strong><\/p>\n

** FSHA (9-1) will host Alemany (7-3) at 3:30 in a battle of Mission League programs that have started the 2017 season with the highest winning percentage.<\/p>\n

The Tologs have won six consecutive games heading into Tuesday, and over that time, FSHA outscored its opponents by a margin of 86-12.<\/p>\n

** Pasadena (6-2) hosts Burroughs (7-4) at 3:30 as Pacific League play gets underway for the Bulldogs.<\/p>\n

PHS enters Tuesday on a five-game win streak, and has consecutive wins over Keppel, San Gabriel Mission, Keppel again in a tournament, San Marino and Rio Hondo Prep, respectively.<\/p>\n

Burroughs has won three of its last five games, but enter after an 11-6 loss to El Segundo.<\/p>\n

** Maranatha (9-1), the area’s most successful teams thus far, is on the road at San Marino (2-1) at 3:30 in a nonleague contest.<\/p>\n

The Minutemen look to rebound from its lone loss of the season, a 2-1 setback to Olympic League foe, Whittier Christian on March 23.<\/p>\n
