On Saturday, June 1, 2024, the St. John Bosco Baseball Team, under the direction of head coach Andy Rojo, took the CIF State Southern California Regional Division III title in a come-from-behind win over Bakersfield Christian. Bosco was down 4-0 in the fifth inning but did not quit. Instead, they banded together to emerge victorious with a 5-4 win. The Instagram post @boscoathletics captured well the thrill of this victory:
“What a weekend. What a season. What a team. 2024 CIF Regional Champions! We are so very proud of this special team. Congratulations to our INCREDIBLE student-athletes, Coach Rojo, and the entire @sjboscobaseball program!! In just one year, you’ve laid a tremendous foundation for a new era in Bosco Baseball.
