"Julian Garcia of St. John Bosco had a perfect game through six innings and didn't allow any hits for eight innings. Left-hander Drew Slevcove of Cypress came close to matching Garcia pitch for pitch until giving up a fifth-inning home run to Jack Champlin. Cypress tied the score with two outs in the seventh when Jake De Laquil walked, stole second, went to third on a ground out and beat the tag at the plate on a ground ball with the infield in."
"Brayden Krakowski took over on the mound for St. John Bosco, throwing scoreless ball in the ninth, 10th and 11th. Tate Belfanti of Cypress was equally perfect with scoreless innings in the ninth and 10th. But a leadoff walk to Jaden Jackson, followed by a stolen base with two outs, opened the door for Moises Razo to deliver a game-winning single to left field during a 2-1 Braves victory."
""That was one of the better played games in high school baseball," St. John Bosco coach Andy Rojo said. "John Weber knows how to coach. Their guy went toe to toe with Julian.""
"A year ago, Garcia missed St. John Bosco's Division 1 title run while recovering from arm surgery. He was fired up for his playoff appearance. "I woke up super pumped," he said. "I was nervous last night." There's been no stopping Garcia in his last two starts. He hasn't allowed a hit in his last 14 innings but doesn't get credit for a no-hitter."
