The Jays survived a shaky start by junior pitcher Sean Bretz, who stayed in the game five innings, just long enough for his teammates to cross home plate six times to give Jesuit a 6-3 win over Assumption in the opening game of the Gerard Oubre Memorial Tournament.
Davis Martin came on in relief for Bretz in the final two innings.
