THE SKINNY: Springdale has scored 18 runs in two playoff games, but Jeney is an experienced senior who has an 8-1 record with 92 strikeouts. He has a 32-6 career record. Jeney also is hitting .466 with 27 RBIs. Hartman is hitting .482. ... California is in the title game for the third time since 2001 and the Trojans are trying to become the first team to win back-to-back Class A titles (Class A was started in 1999). Springdale is in a title game for the first time in 31 years and most recently won a championship in 1954.

PREDICTED WINNER: California.
