(5) Jesuit 7
Tampa Cath 3

Jesuit won out in the second game this season between the two storied rivals as four players homered in the game.

Jack Martinez and Wes Mendes hit solo homers for the Tigers, while Mendes also earned the win on the mound with seven strikeouts, before turning things over to Brooks Chamberlin for the final inning. Danny Lazaro and Ethan Frame each homered for the Crusaders, and Rolando Jimenez was 2-for-4 with a double in the loss.
