If Corona and Huntington Beach can survive the early rounds, the two unbeaten teams would meet in Friday’s 6 p.m. championship at JSerra.

Winning this tournament is all about pitching depth, with teams trying to win four games in four days. Corona opens at 9 a.m. on Tuesday against Gahr at JSerra. Huntington Beach faces Aquinas at 9 a.m. at Mater Dei.

There are four unbeaten teams in the tournament — Corona, Huntington Beach, Mater Dei and Aquinas.

Action continues Wednesday and Thursday, with the semifinals at 6 p.m. on Thursday at Mater Dei and JSerra.
