Los Angeles Harbor of Wilmington took the lone title for the area in 1984. L.A. Harbor was runnerup three times--in 1976, 1981 and 1983.

South Bay sports mistakenly reported on July 20 that Los Angeles Harbor College has won one state baseball title. The Seahawks won in 1978 and 1984, both under current Coach Jim O’Brien, whose teams have also placed second three times.
