JV opened their fall season in West Hills on Saturday afternoon and never trailed, with six pitchers holding Chaminade scoreless for five innings.
Kasen Caranto set the tone in the first, walking, stealing second and third, and scoring on Elijah Patlian's groundout. In the second, Miles Shelofsky and Mikey Cintra walked, and Caranto lined a two-run single to make it 3-0. Shelofsky singled and scored again in the fourth on Caden Shin's single, and Ryan Kim came home on a wild pitch in the sixth.
Shelofsky started on the mound and struck out the side in the first. Elijah Avlas, Nate Marroquin, Jackson Lord, Brody Kersting, and Elijah Garcia followed, combining for six more strikeouts, and the defense cut down three runners on the bases: Jayden Soulema threw out a runner stealing second, Avlas caught one trying for third, and Caranto threw out a hitter stretching a double into a triple.
Chaminade's only run came in the sixth. Caranto finished with the two-run single and two stolen bases, Patlian stole two bases and drove in a run, and Shelofsky scored twice.
Santino Cascione went 2-for-2 and Hayden Jaquez drove in Valencia's first run in the fifth. Charles Goodman and JT Gurne each struck out two in scoreless innings, and Bodie Johnson's first varsity hit drove in a run in the seventh.

The Stadium Club exists to support Valencia baseball. Donations keep the program running across all three levels: baseballs and other team equipment, umpires, the field, transportation, and the everyday costs of a season. Giving is voluntary and every student on the roster participates fully.
Sponsorship for the 2026-27 season is open. Family giving has no set amount: any donation helps, and none is expected. The donation page has current details on how to give.
The last result and what is coming up. The full season, every level, is on the schedule page. The official 2026-27 Foothill League schedule posts in January 2027.
