At the 5A level, Regis Jesuit captured its first state championship since 2019 in dramatic fashion at All-Star Park in Lakewood. After falling 3-2 to top-seeded Arvada West in the opening game of the championship series, the Raiders rallied back with a 5-3 victory in the winner-take-all final to secure the program’s fourth overall baseball title.
Regis Jesuit came out aggressively in Game 2, scoring five early runs behind key contributions from Eli Shappee, Carter Rathburn, and Deion Cesario-Scott. The championship game also featured a lengthy lightning delay before the Raiders regrouped behind strong pitching performances from Mikey Kroll and Cade Filleman to close out the victory over one of Colorado’s top teams.
We’re honored to support athletes and programs across Colorado as they continue to raise the level of high school baseball in the state. HitStreak is proud to have a long-standing partnership with Regis Jesuit High School and to work with so many dedicated Raiders players throughout the years.
