Bronx Community College Wins 2026 CUNY Baseball Title With Dominant 12-2 Victory
The Broncos finished off Queensborough Community College 12-2 in the sixth inning to repeat as champions.
How we reported this
The Bronx Community College Broncos captured the 2026 CUNY Baseball Championship on May 4 with a 12-2 victory over the Queensborough Community College Tigers that ended early under the mercy rule.
The result marks the second straight year the Broncos have brought the title home, a streak that stands out in a local college sports scene where consistent success draws steady attention from neighborhood fans and alumni. The win also extends a longer run of dominance for the program at a time when Bronx residents follow community college athletics as an accessible entry point into competitive play.
Game ended in the sixth
Play stopped after six innings once the margin reached the required threshold, leaving the Tigers unable to mount a full comeback on the day. The final score reflected steady offensive output from the Broncos and defensive execution that limited Queensborough opportunities throughout the contest.
Head coach Adolfo DeJesus noted the team overcame the loss of a right fielder and an injury to the center fielder yet still advanced to the championship outcome. Those roster adjustments required players already on the roster to handle expanded roles across multiple positions.
Program record under long-tenured leadership
This season represents the 14th CUNY title won during DeJesus’s time leading the Broncos, a stretch that covers more than four decades of coaching at the college. The repeated success has become a reference point for local baseball followers tracking how the program sustains results year after year.
News12 New York reported the final score and the mercy-rule finish directly from the game site. The same account confirmed the back-to-back titles and the total number of championships secured under the current head coach.
With the 2026 title secured, the Broncos now shift focus to roster continuity and preparation for the next season’s schedule. Local supporters can follow updates through the college athletics office for any announced exhibition or scrimmage dates that may appear before fall workouts begin.
