The Blue Jays scored 12 runs on 13 hits against the Belle Chasse Cardinals Tuesday night, triggering the 10-run rule and ending the game in the sixth inning at John Ryan Stadium. Jesuit’s 12-2 victory notched the Jays’ twelfth win of the season against three losses.

Leading the Jays offensively was a trio of seniors:

Home run swing: Third baseman Scott Crabtree swings for the right field fence and unleashes a towering solo home run in Tuesday night's game against Belle Chasse at John Ryan Stadium. The ball easily cleared the fence and might have landed on an Amtrak train had it been passing by.
