In a Southern Section wild card playoff game, Palos Verdes defeated Segerstrom 5-0 and will play Long Beach Poly on Thursday in Division 3. Ryan Anderson threw the shutout.
Los Osos, which ended the regular season with a three-game sweep of Baseline League co-champion Damien, continued its stellar play with a 10-0 win over Walnut.
Anthony Ramirez hit a walk-off three-run home run in the eighth inning to give Saugus a 3-2 win over Downey.
