IMG 9, #2 Jesuit 8 (9)

IMG’s Jackson LaLima lined a ninth-inning, RBI single into left field to give the Ascenders a walk-off win in a battle of MaxPreps Top 2 teams in the state of Florida. Jesuit opened the game with a run as DJ Pirela singled to lead things off, and would eventually score on a Grant Jordan single. The RBI hit was the first of three hits and three runs driven in by Jordan, who added a two-run single to the Tigers fourth inning. The Tigers would take a brief lead in the seventh, with RBI hits from Vince DeCarlo (2-for-4) and Jake Kulikowski (2-for-6, double, run, RBI), but IMG answered with three runs in the home-half to force extra innings.

Steinbrenner 10, Land O’Lakes 5
