4. Carson (3-7-1, 3-4-1)
5. San Pedro (5-9-4, 2-4-2)
6. Washington (0-8 in league)
Notes: The biggest game left is Banning at Narbonne on Wednesday afternoon. Narbonne needs a win to have a chance at first and keep Gardena off its tail. Narbonne is on a hot streak at home and Banning star Peter Velazquez's availability (ankle injury) is a question mark. Banning finishes at Gardena on Friday in another dangerous game. Carson and San Pedro are fighting for fourth place and a possible playoff berth. The L.A. City Section usually takes three to four Marine League teams. Fourth place may or may not be good enough.
STANDINGS
1. Leuzinger (18-5-1, 6-1), at Mira Costa, Friday, 3 p.m.
2. Palos Verdes (19-2-3, 6-1), hosts Peninsula, Friday, 3 p.m.
3. West Torrance (12-4-4, 2-3-2), at Redondo, Friday, 3 p.m.
4. Mira Costa (8-7-7, 2-3-2)
5. Redondo (6-9-2, 2-5)
6. Peninsula (7-10-2, 1-6)
Notes: Who will blink first between the Sea Kings and the Olympians with three regular-season games left? A tie could be enough for one of them to slip out of first place, and no team in the Bay League is an easy opponent ... Either Redondo or Peninsula could play spoiler ... Leuzinger gets a big test on Friday at Mira Costa ... Leuzinger slipped past Mira Costa in overtime in the first meeting ... Palos Verdes looking to capture back-to-back Bay League titles ... West and Mira Costa in a tight race for third place ...
