Wilson High's baseball squad finally broke through a drought that had stretched back to 2022, posting a 3-0 shutout over Montebello in the first round of the CIF-Southern Section Division 5 playoffs.
Right-hander Cooper George turned in a masterful outing, fanning ten batters while surrendering just three hits, a performance that left the opposition swinging at shadows.
The decisive blow came in the fourth inning when Eddie Becker launched a solo home run, extending Wilson's lead to 3-0 and shifting momentum firmly in the Tigers' favor.
Earlier in the game, James Mirabile and Nico Thiem each delivered RBI doubles in the third frame, adding two more runs to the tally and underscoring the team's balanced attack.
Looking Ahead
Wilson will now travel to face the winner of the matchup between Jurupa Hills and Santa Fe, a test that could determine how far the Tigers can go this postseason.
