Always a hotly contested series, the rivalry between Sonoma State and Chico State goes back decades.  Last year was no exception, with the Wildcats taking the regular season series, but the Seawolves knocking Chico out of the conference tournament.

Since 2005, the teams have been nearly even.  In 39 games, the Seawolves have won 20, the Wildcats 19.  Regular foes in the postseason as well, the teams have met 20 times in either the CCAA or NCAA Tournament.  In addition, Sonoma (5) and Chico (3) are responsible for eight of the 14 conference championships since 1999 and they are the last two teams to win the west region championship (Sonoma in 2011, Chico in 2012).

Both teams are off to fine starts in 2013, as well.  The Seawolves are 8-2 and ranked 13th in the nation while the Wildcats are 11-1 and ranked 4th.

Home to the Sacramento River Cats, the Triple-A affiliate of the Oakland Athletics, Raley Field opened on the banks of the Sacramento River in 2000.  With 11,093 permanent seats and grass seating for a total capactiy of 14,014, it is among the largest minor league stadiums in the nation.  Last season, Raley Field hosted an average of 8,455 fans for each of the River Cats home games.  It was the fifth-highest total in all of minor league baseball.
