The Kingswood Oxford varsity baseball team capped off a remarkable 2025 season with a Founders League Championship, defeating Choate Rosemary Hall 2-1 in a 14-inning semifinal thriller before overpowering Taft 10-6 in the title game.

The Wyverns finished the year 15-6 overall, including a 3-1 run in Florida and a 12-5 record across regular season and playoff action. April proved pivotal, as the team put together a six-game win streak that fueled their postseason push.

Pitching was a major strength all season long. KO’s staff combined for three shutouts and held opponents to one run in four other contests, finishing with a stingy 2.33 team ERA. Senior standout and team MVP Harry Engle led the rotation with a dominant 1.30 ERA, striking out 69 batters over 43 innings.

At the plate, senior Bodie Swanson earned Most Improved honors with a breakout season, hitting .377 with a 1.057 OPS, three home runs, and 16 RBIs.

Seniors Dom Trolio and Tommy Caporaso received Coaches Awards for their leadership and contributions throughout the year. All four seniors were key starters, setting the tone for a team that mixed toughness with talent.

KO’s title run was a testament to depth, resilience, and belief – a season to remember for the Wyverns.
