No. 1 Jupiter 15, No. 7 St. Lucie West Centennial 0 (F/3): A second-inning surge ended the Eagles’ hopes of advancing as they fell on the road against the Warriors.
Jupiter won two meetings against Centennial this season by a combined margin of 34-2. In this meeting, the home team scored twice in the first before exploding for 10 runs in the second and wrapping up matters with three more runs in the third. The Warriors finished with 18 hits.
Haylie Lawston, Serenity Robinson and Rayne Cohen accounted for Centennial’s three hits while Emma Hazelton reached with a walk.
The Eagles completed the 2026 season with a 10-14 season. Most of the team will be back in 2027 as team captain Myrna Pratt is the only player set to graduate.
Region 4-5A Final
No. 1 Pembroke Pines Charter 1, No. 3 Sebastian River 0: A run in the bottom of the sixth with the difference as the Sharks fell just short on the road against the Jaguars.
Aleena Fonseca, who went 2-for-3 at the plate with a double, scored the only run of the night after being driven in by Brielle Martinez. Meanwhile, Destiny Ortega held the Sebastian River bats at bay. The junior relinquished just two hits and a walk while striking out 13 as part of a complete-game shutout.
