Redwood’s hot stretch and Marin County standings

The game, logged from California high school baseball data by MaxPreps, pushed Redwood to a fifth straight win and a sparkling 22-2-1 record. San Rafael dropped to 12-14.

In a region where Marin City residents and families in San Rafael and Mill Valley keep an eye on the scoreboard, the Giants kept rolling. They used timely hitting and steady pitching to frustrate the Bulldogs’ offense.

Both teams showed off their depth. Redwood’s ability to keep pressure on really stood out.

The Giants’ offense filled the box with a multi-hit effort. San Rafael made a push, but just couldn’t close the gap in the late innings.

Local coaches in Larkspur and Novato watched as Redwood extended its momentum. The postseason run in Marin’s competitive baseball scene is just around the corner.

Key San Rafael contributors and what stood out

For the Bulldogs, Colby Jackson stole the spotlight with a strong two-way performance. Coaches in San Anselmo and Tiburon will probably mention his night in their season recaps.

Jackson pitched 4.1 innings and allowed just one earned run on five hits. At the plate, he went 1-for-4, scored two runs, and swiped a base.

His starts seem to make all the difference for San Rafael. When he allows two or fewer earned runs, the Bulldogs are 6-3. If he gives up more, they slide to 6-11.

This level of consistency from both the mound and the bat keeps a Marin County program in the mix, even in a crowded league.

Jackson’s two-way day: 4.1 innings pitched, 1 earned run (five hits), and 1-for-4 with two runs and a stolen base.
Greene’s on-base night: reached base three times and scored a run, providing the top out-of-town statline in a tough loss.
Team depth: six different Bulldogs recorded at least one hit, showing the breadth of San Rafael’s offensive approach.

For fans in Marin County’s towns—whether from Fairfax or San Rafael—the main takeaway is that San Rafael can hang with a talented Redwood squad when things click at the plate and on the hill.

No further games were listed for either team at the time of this report. Fans now wait for a schedule that’ll shape the late-season narrative in towns like Novato and Sausalito.

What this means for the Marin baseball landscape

As the Marin County baseball season pushes further into May, the San Rafael-Redwood matchup really highlights just how much talent this region has. Redwood’s Giants are still the team everyone’s chasing, riding a five-game win streak that’s clearly boosting their confidence.

That momentum should help them as they head toward the playoffs. San Rafael, led by Jackson and Greene, has made real progress and can use that as a springboard for the rest of the season.

They’ll probably face Redwood again and take on other Marin programs in Mill Valley, Corte Madera, and a few other spots. Honestly, the schedule looks packed with challenges and potential rematches.

Zooming out a bit, anyone following high school baseball in San Rafael, Larkspur, or Tiburon can expect more tight, competitive games like this. MaxPreps, with all its stats, gives us a glimpse of a season that’s unfolding everywhere—from the Marinwood corridor right up to the edge of the Golden Gate.

Young athletes are the ones shaping these storylines, and that’s what keeps it interesting. The drama on the diamond just keeps building.
