Archbishop Mitty defeated St. Ignatius 6-2 in the CCS Division I final at Excite Ballpark
Archbishop Mitty catcher Andrew Sauceda and pitcher Luka Pintar celabrate after winning their Central Coast Section Division I baseball championship 6-2 against St. Ignatius in San Jose, Calif., on Saturday, May 25, 2024. SAN JOSE — Three days after upsetting top-seeded Valley Christian in an instant classic on Wednesday, Archbishop Mitty completed its section playoff run with a dominant 6-2 win over St. Ignatius in the Central Coast Section Division I title game on Saturday at Excite Ballpark.
“We trusted in our offense and we knew if we stuck to the approach that we were going to get hits,” Rodriguez said. “Pintar, he keeps you off balance,” said St. Ignatius coach Brian Pollzzie. “He’s got a fastball, curveball, cutter and changeup. He mixes it up and keeps guys off balance, especially with a lead.” Valley Christian defeated Mitty twice this season and were the favorites to win the CCS title as the No. 1 seed. But the Monarchs’ gusty 7-5 win on Wednesday gave the San Jose school the confidence it needed to win the section final.
