Always a hotly contested series, the rivalry between Sonoma State and Chico State goes back decades.  Last year's CCAA regular season championship was decided at the Capital City Clash, with the Seawolves earning an exciting, come-from-behind 10-7 win over the Wildcats.  


Since 2005, both teams have seen success in the series.  In 43 games, the Seawolves have won 26, the Wildcats 22.  Regular foes in the postseason as well, the teams have met 21 times in either the CCAA or NCAA Tournament.  In addition, Sonoma (6) and Chico (3) are responsible for nine of the 16 conference championships since 1999.

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.  Previously the Triple-A affiliate of the Oakland Athletics, the club recently switched to the Giants.
