SAN JOSE — It can be hard to make history at Serra.
The San Mateo school is famously excellent across a variety of sports. But it had been a while since the Padres won a Central Coast Section baseball championship.
Not anymore. Facing a two-run deficit in the early inning, Serra rallied for three runs in the fourth, and the Padres’ pitching held the line to secure a 3-2 win and their first Division I championship since 2009.
Serra had a similar comeback against St. Francis in the Division I semifinal, scoring six runs against St. Francis on Wednesday. But this rally will be remembered as the one that broke an uncharacteristic decade-plus streak of section championship futility.
