St. John Bosco stays on top: CIF SoCal regional baseball championship results image

Saturday was the last day of California's high school baseball season, and you know what that means – regional championship.

In Division I, St. John Bosco shut out Patrick Henry to go down as both a sectional and regional D1 champion.

Here's a quick roundup of the five regional title tilts in Southern California high school baseball.

DIVISION I: St. John Bosco 4, Patrick Henry 0

Taking home Division I titles at both the Southern Section and regional levels is a very rare feat, but St. John Bosco got it done. Unlike when they beat Santa Margarita on a walk-off in the section final, the Braves got it done against Patrick Henry with very little drama, scoring two runs each in the first two innings as Brayden Krakowski (4.2 innings) and Jack Champlin (2.1 innings) combined for a shutout. On the same day he was named Trinity League MVP,  James Clark led St. John Bosco on offense going 2-3 with a double, a triple, an RBI, and two runs scored.

And get this – the Braves, already a national title contender, are expected to return seven starters in 2026.

DIVISION II: Rancho Bernardo 2, Point Loma 1

The Broncos avenged a loss from the CIF-SDS D1 championship and took home a regional title as Division II's bottom seed out of eight teams. Freshman Brayden Kotera allowed just one run in 5.1 innings, Christopher Bayne tossed 1.2 dominant innings, and Hugo Gonzalez got it done at the plate, going 3-4 with a home run, a double, and a run scored.

DIVISION III: University City 3, Mt. Carmel 1

Like Division II, Division III had an all-San Diego Section title game, and University City came out on top as both a sectional and regional champion. AJ Curry was a star on both sides of the ball for the Centurions, hitting 3-3 a double, an RBI, and a run scored, and pitching four innings with one earned run, three hits, and nine strikeouts. Thiago Quillin was also outstanding on the mound with just one hit allowed in three scoreless innings, and Jayden Parker added a two-run double.

DIVISION IV: Ridgeview 1, Banning (Wilmington) 0

Thanks in large part to Joel Gutierrez, Ridgeview finishes 2025 on a 13-game winning streak as Central Section and regional champions. Gutierrez tossed a three-hit shutout with no walks against Banning, and Adrian Bravo drove in Isaiah Marquez with a two-run double in the top of the seventh for the game's only run.

DIVISION V: Pioneer (Whittier) 4, Corcoran 3

Pioneer went up 4-0 in the top of the sixth inning and just barely held on against two late Corcoran rallies to take home the regional crown. Cristian Maciel got the win on the mound with five scoreless innings. Pioneer reportedly only got two hits, but the Titans didn't let that stop them.
