San Juan Capistrano, CA — The @jserra.baseball team closed out its three-game series with Orange Lutheran on Thursday with a 3-1 defeat to the Lancers at JSerra Catholic High School. The Lions put the game’s first run on the scoreboard in the bottom of the second inning. Senior Brise Boop started the rally with a leadoff single to center field, which was followed by an infield single by freshman Joey Koenig. Junior Ryder Fredriksen reached on an error to load the bases, and two batters later, Boop scored on a wild pitch to make it 1-0. The Lancers tied the game in the top of the fourth inning and then surged into the lead with two runs in the top of the fifth inning. JSerra put the tying runs on base in two of the final three innings, but the Lancers navigated through the jams both times to close out the win and the series sweep. Boop collected two of the Lions’ six hits in the game, while sophomore Owen Mescall, senior Blake Bowen, and junior Shane D’Arcy each added a hit apiece. #lionnation #jserrabaseball #jserraathletics
