Mission Viejo Capistrano Valley has opened a 6-0 lead over Long Beach Wilson after two innings of its first-round game of the Southern Section Division I playoffs on the strength of a grand slam by Charles Pfirrmann.

Tyler Matzek, Capistrano Valley’s pitching ace, has retired all six batters he has faced.

In other playoff games, Wilmington Banning has a 3-1 lead over Woodland Hills El Camino Real in the second innings of a City Section Division I quarterfinal. The Chatsworth-Bell quarterfinal game has been delayed because Bell’s bus broke down. It’s not expected to start until 4:30 p.m.
