Here is a full game recap on the CIF State championship Game

Victory Behind Gutierrez’s Gem

The Ridgeview Varsity Wolf Pack came out on top Saturday in a classic pitcher’s duel, edging past the Banning Varsity Pilots 1-0.

Senior right-hander Joel Gutierrez was dominant on the mound, tossing a complete game shutout. Gutierrez allowed just three hits across seven innings, striking out five without issuing a single walk. His poise kept the Wolf Pack in control all afternoon until the offense broke through late.

With the game still scoreless in the seventh, Adrian Bravo delivered the clutch hit Ridgeview needed, drilling a double that plated the game’s only run.

The Wolf Pack bats scattered six hits on the day, highlighted by Edwin Hidalgo and Jacob Quintero, who each notched two. Bravo’s RBI proved to be the difference-maker.

Defensively, Ridgeview was sharp, playing error-free baseball. Ben Castro anchored the infield, recording a team-high eight chances without a miscue.

The win showcased Ridgeview’s resilience and ability to execute in tight situations—led by Gutierrez’s lights-out pitching and Bravo’s timely swing.

The Ridgeview Wolf Pack baseball team closed their 2025 season in storybook fashion, stringing together an incredible 13-game winning streak that carried them through the playoffs and into the history books.

The streak began in early May with a sweep over BHS and a 5–0 shutout over Highland, setting the tone for what would become a dominant stretch of baseball. The Pack followed it up with back-to-back shutouts against Templeton (3–0) and Lompoc (2–0) before overwhelming Sanger (10–1) in a statement victory. Pitching and defense were locked in, but the offense showed it could erupt when needed.

In the CIF Central Section Division II Championship, Ridgeview stayed poised under pressure, defeating Kingsburg 2–0 to secure the title and extend their streak. From there, the Pack shifted their sights to the SoCal Regional Playoffs—where they elevated their game even higher.

At Hardt Field, Ridgeview powered past Notre Dame 13–3, then battled their way through Estancia 6–3 to earn a shot at the regional crown. The final challenge came against Banning High School, and in the biggest game of the season, Ridgeview delivered one more clutch performance—a 1–0 shutout victory that sealed the SoCal Regional Division IV Championship.

This 13-game run wasn’t just about wins—it was about resilience, teamwork, and a group of players rising to the occasion when it mattered most. From dominant pitching performances to timely hitting, every player had a role in keeping the streak alive.

The Wolf Pack’s journey from May to June proved what Ridgeview baseball is all about: grit, unity, and championship heart.
