The Friday night game at John Ryan Stadium attracted a large crowd that witnessed the Jays explode for 11 hits and seven runs to even it up in the second round of district play. Two weeks ago, the Tigers manhandled the Jays, 8-6. Everything that went wrong for the Jays in that game played at Holy Cross went completely right under the lights at the Ryan.
Jack Burk pitched five innings, giving up two hits and striking out five Tigers. The win improved his record to 5-0.
The Jays’ record is 20-7; in district play, 5-2. The Jays are a half-game behind Holy Cross. Jesuit plays two more games this weekend on their home field. A non-district game against John Ehret is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Saturday. The game will feature Blue Jay Senior Day and recognize the 11 seniors on the team. On Sunday, the Jays play Rummel at 3 p.m. in a game that was rained out earlier this week. The Jays are looking at squaring things up with the Raiders who rallied in extra innings to defeat Jesuit, 6-5, in the first round.
