In 2021 and 2022, San Marino went a combined 8-30-1.
Fast forward to 2024, and the Titans are seeking a second consecutive Rio Hondo League championship.
And this year, SMHS doesn’t want to share the RHL penthouse with South Pasadena.
After Tuesday’s 3-0 victory over La Canada, San Marino holds a one-game lead over the Tigers with one game to play.

Wilson walked one and struck out seven LCHS batters.
He needed 93 pitches to finish what he started and 60 went for strikes.
Tyler Breckheimer had La Canada’s lone hit on Tuesday.
Scott Burns was charged with two runs on four hits over five innings.
Burns walked and struck out two batters apiece.
Sid Danenhauer walked, singled and his RBI ground out in the top of the second gave San Marino a 1-0 lead.
Mikey Yessaian drew a pair of walks, singled and scored.
Jamie Berclaw went 2-for-3 and scored.
Chase Mena singles.
Tomas Bilvado reached base on an error in the second inning and he would come around to score.
