Baseball highlights lighting up Marin County
Fans from San Rafael’s hills to the flats near San Anselmo had plenty to talk about. Pitchers took over, sluggers drove in runs, and league races started to take shape.
Marin Catholic, San Rafael, Tamalpais, San Marin, and others all played games that could shape the early league picture. Towns across the county felt the impact.
Marin Catholic’s explosive day in Kentfield
- Walker Untermann crushed three home runs among five hits and drove in nine runs during a 26-2 blowout. He also started the next game, pitching five innings, allowing two hits and one earned run, and striking out 10.
The Coyotes’ lineup showed off both power and patience in Kentfield. Marin Catholic’s undefeated stretch already has families in San Rafael and beyond buzzing.
San Rafael and Terra Linda’s pitching duel
- San Rafael’s pitchers set the tone, throwing 12 scoreless innings in 7-0 and 6-0 wins over Terra Linda. Greene threw five innings with nine strikeouts, and Jackson finished the series with a complete-game win.
Tamalpais and Novato tug-of-war on the mound
- Tam’s ace Lee allowed just one hit in a tight 2-1 loss to Marin Catholic. He then took a no-hitter into the fourth inning during a 4-0 win at Novato.

- Mendoza piled up 13 hits and 10 RBIs in just four games, fueling the Mustangs’ hot streak.
- Low chipped in a two-run homer and had a three-hit, six-RBI game that showed off San Marin’s lineup depth.
Softball season shaping up in Redwood, San Rafael, and beyond
Softball mirrored baseball’s energy, with Redwood, San Marin, and Marin Catholic all starting league play strong. Tamalpais and Novato are right in the mix too, as teams across Marin City, Corte Madera, and the peninsula chase early wins.
Friday night dominance by Redwood’s girls
- Redwood rolled to two blowout wins, 20-0 and 16-0, capping the week at 3-0. Belluomini starred on the mound with a one-hit, eight-strikeout game and made noise at the plate, turning heads from Larkspur to Tiburon.
Elsewhere, Novato and San Marin split their series. Redwood and San Rafael both swept their opponents. Marin Catholic kept its undefeated record at 3-0, making a mark on fans in San Rafael and Kentfield. Early league play has Redwood, San Marin, and Marin Catholic combining for a 5-0 MCAL start, with Tam’s pitching helping the Tigers stay close in the standings.
Volleyball, lacrosse, and track-and-swim: a multi-sport week
Beyond the diamonds and the outfield, MCAL and Marin Academy programs turned in performances that kept fans buzzing. From Mill Valley to Fairfax, the excitement was real.
- San Rafael boys volleyball jumped up the MCAL standings. Stein racked up 16 and 25 kills in two matches, while Chang kept the offense moving with steady setting.
- Marin Academy girls lacrosse pulled off their first-ever win over Redwood. Goodenough tallied five goals, an assist, and grabbed 10 draw controls—maybe the start of something big for the program in Corte Madera and nearby Marin towns.
Track and swimming: sprinting, jumps, and pool power
- Horn and Fitzgerald stole the show at the Bay Area Sprint Extravaganza with big jumps and vaults. Athletes across San Rafael, San Anselmo, and Larkspur hit personal bests and season-leading times.
- In the pool, Uhlhorn-Thornton and Wright led Marin County swimmers chasing top times. Weekend meets drew scouts and fans from all over the region.
MCAL football and basketball seasons are almost here. Marin County sports fans can probably count on more wild performances from towns like Sausalito, Tiburon, and Fairfax, where school pride is just part of the air.
Keep an eye on your San Rafael, Novato, and Kentfield school districts for the next slate of games. The county’s athletes aren’t slowing down as spring heats up.
