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.

Senior standout and team MVP Harry Engle led the rotation with a dominant 1.30 ERA, striking out 69 batters over 43 innings.
