Championship Match Mishap at 2025 Boras Baseball Classic: La Mirada's Defense Crumbles against Elite National Team
Corona High and La Mirada High Battle it Out in Boras Baseball Classic
In a highly anticipated matchup, Corona High and La Mirada High faced off in the final of the Boras Baseball Classic in 2025. After an unbeaten performance at the tournament, Corona High has been recognized as one of the top baseball teams in California.
The game started with a bang as the Panthers scored three runs in the top of the first inning, highlighted by Billy Carlson's two-out, three-run home run. Corona High's dominant play continued throughout the game, with pitcher Seth Hernandez showcasing his impressive skills, throwing a 98 mph fastball and recording 13 strikeouts.
La Mirada High, despite a valiant effort, was unable to match Corona's performance, ultimately losing the game 8-3. However, the Matadores' ranking improved since the preseason, moving up the charts, indicating an improvement in their play.
Junior pitcher Noah Dabela made his debut for La Mirada in the game, but faced some challenges, giving up five runs, walking four, and throwing three wild pitches. Kaden Corns, another La Mirada pitcher, managed to settle the team and secure the game, striking out C.J. Ciampa looking to end the threat.
Corona High entered the game with an undefeated season, having allowed just one run through the first 10 games. The Matadores, although defeated, showed resilience and are likely to continue climbing up the rankings.
The Boras Classic marked the first of four straight weeks in which the Matadores will play four games. After returning home, they will face Gahr High for three games and West Ranch High on Apr. 19. It's possible that La Mirada could see Corona again out there in the National High School Invitational.
In summary, Corona High is recognized as one of the top baseball teams in California following the Boras Baseball Classic, with La Mirada High also showing improvement but ranked just below Corona based on their tournament final result. The teams have now split four games since 2023, and it remains to be seen if they will meet again in the CIF-Southern Section Division 1 playoffs.
