The Wilson Bruins baseball team survived a nail‑biting 2‑1 contest against Jurupa Hills in the second round of the CIF Southern Section Division 5 playoffs, securing a home‑field advantage for the upcoming quarterfinals.
Key moments that defined the game
The turning point arrived in the top of the second inning when Eddie Becker was hit by a pitch, advanced to third and scored on a passed ball to tie the contest. A few innings later, Cooper George doubled with two outs, setting up Russell Centanni’s RBI single that put Wilson ahead.
On the mound, starter Shane Guy surrendered just one run over three innings before handing the ball to Cesar Castro, who closed the game with four scoreless frames, limiting Jurupa Hills to three hits and preserving the lead.
What’s next for the Bruins
Wilson will host Temescal Canyon on Friday, a team riding a hot streak and eager to extend its playoff run. The Bruins aim to translate the momentum from their narrow victory into a semifinal berth, with the crowd at Long Beach poised to rally behind their home side.
