Fresno City Secures No. 1 On Final Regular Season Home Run 30 Rankings

April 27, 2026

Fresno City College and its sparkling 37-3 overall record has put the Rams above the rest in the final regular season CCCBCA Home Run 30 Rankings (April 20-26).

The Rams won the Central Valley Conference title and earned the North's top seed for the upcoming regional playoffs.

Pacific Coast Athletic Conference champion Palomar moves up to #2 and gains the South's top seed.

Rounding out the top 10 are Orange Empire Conference champ Santa Ana at #3, Coast South champ Ohlone #4, South Coast co-champ El Camino #5, Big 8 co-champs Modesto at #6 and San Joaquin Delta at #7, Riverside City #8, Santa Rosa JC #9, and Western State South champ Glendale #10.

Three new teams jumped on this ranking in #21 Golden West, #29 Pasadena City and #30 Fullerton. Saddleback makes the biggest leap of eight spots up to #16.

Six OEC teams and five Big 8 teams are on the Home Run 30. Seventeen of the teams are from the South Region.

The 48 seeds have been set for what should be a wild and unpredictable Round 1 as teams have been placed in 16, 3-team, double-elimination series, eight in each region. The playoffs take place Friday-Sunday, May 1-3.

The 16 winners advance to the Super Regionals the following weekend Thursday-Saturday, May 7-9. The eight winners then advance to the Regional Finals May 15-17.

A final overall Home Run 30 Rankings will be done after the four remaining squads participate at the 3C2A State Championships scheduled for Great Park in the City of Irvine May 23-25.
