Chino Hills baseball clinches Sierra, ending South Hills’ bid for 12th straight league title; Damien finishes fourth

Chino Hills (21-5, 12-3) baseball won the Sierra League title outright with a 16-9 victory over Damien (16-9, 8-7). South Hills, which needed Chino Hills to lose to earn its 12th straight league title, beat Ayala 4-2 behind a strong pitching performance from Gavin Velasquez, giving South Hills (20-5-1, 11-4) sole possession of second. Damien finishes in a tie for third with Ayala (15-12, 8-7), but Ayala won the season-series 2-1 and gets the third playoff spot. Unless Damien gets an at-large berth in the Division 2 playoffs, its season is over.
