San Dimas all but wrapped up the 2021 Valle Vista League championship on Thursday.
The Saints earned a 4-1 victory at Charter Oak, and picked up the two-game sweep over the second-place Chargers this week.
SDHS will officially clinch the title next week after they sweep winless Diamond Ranch.
Matt DesMarets got the win after his six-inning effort.
DesMarets allowed one run on seven hits.
He walked three and struck out four COHS batters.
Kody King secured the save with a scoreless seventh inning.
Evan Avitia singled twice and scored, and Diego Ortiz went 2-for-4.
Chris Ceballos, Gabriel Rico, Anthony Vasquez and Zack Bauer had one single apiece for the Chargers.
Ceballos was stuck with the loss.
He surrendered four runs on 10 hits over 5 2/3 innings of work.
Ceballos walked three and struck out five SDHS batters.
Diego Ortiz went 1 1/3 inning of scoreless relief.
Kasen Khansarinia went 3-for-4 and scored two runs.
Robert Castillo walked, singled, doubled and scored.
Ryder Young singled and drove in two runs.
Ryan Kim had an RBI base hit.
Landon White singled and doubled.
Rocco Regan singled and scored.
SDHS hasn’t lost a VVL game since May 4th of 2018, and they’ve won the league title outright every year since 2013, except for 2018, when the Saints and Vikings were co-champions.
San Dimas was 6-1 overall and 2-0 last year in VVL play when COVID-19 shut the season and world down.
SDHS has four regular season games left, including a pair of two-game series with Diamond Ranch and West Covina, respectively.
Charter Oak holds a one-half game lead over Northview in second place.
If the Vikings defeat West Covina today (Friday), Northview and Charter Oak will likely decide the No. 2 seed next week when they meet up twice.
The Vikings will host COHS next Wednesday & the Chargers will welcome Northview to their field on Friday.
