Baseball Captures Game One of Rowlett Series, Game Two Postponed to Saturday

Jesuit Dallas baseball raced to a series-opening win over Rowlett in the University Interscholastic League (UIL) Region 2-6A Bi-District Round, scoring an 8-1 win over the Eagles on Thursday evening at Wright Field.
 
Due to inclement weather in the area, Friday's game has been postponed. Originally scheduled for a 7 p.m. start at Rowlett High School, game two will now take place at 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 5 at Prosper High School, the original start time and date for game three of the series. A time and location for a potential game three has yet to be determined.
 
Senior Maccoy Lopez went 3-for-3 with two runs scored and one driven in to anchor the Jesuit Dallas effort. Senior Tyler Murrah went 3-for-4 with a run scored while each of the Rangers' top five hitters, sophomore Jalon Mack, sophomore Braxton Boyle, Lopez, junior Garrett Reuben and senior Bijan Kamalipour drove in one run apiece. Doubles by Mack, Lopez, Reuben and sophomore Tyson Pointer did a majority of the damage as Pointer and junior Caden Carlson drove in the final runs for the Blue and Gold.
 
Junior Jack Lynch moved to 8-2 on the year with a five-inning effort, striking out three batters while allowing one run on one hit. Senior Chris Irby threw the final two innings for Jesuit, surrendering no runs on two hits with a strikeout.
 
How it Happened
  • Rowlett was able to score a first inning run off of the Rangers before Jesuit scored two in the bottom of the frame and three runs in the second to take an early, four-run lead. Mack earned a walk to lead off the bottom of the first, scoring on a single to left center by Reuben to tie the game at 1-1. Lopez, who singled through the left side with one out to reach base, gave the Rangers their first lead of the game by scoring on a passed ball.
     
  • After Lynch forced an inning-ending, 5-4-3 double play, Murrah singled to center to start the second inning, scoring on a ground rule double by Mack to blossom the Jesuit lead to two runs. A sacrifice bunt by Boyle and a sacrifice fly by Lopez increased the advantage to four runs to put the Rangers into firm control of the contest.
     
  • A leadoff double by Pointer in the bottom of the third provided the spark that led to Jesuit's sixth run of the game as Carlson laced a single up the middle that plated senior pinch runner Cole Beach.
     
  • Jesuit Dallas concluded its scoring in the bottom of the fourth, sparked by a ground rule double by Lopez. Kamalipour's single to right scored Lopez before the senior scored on a single to right by Pointer for the sophomore catcher's second RBI of the game.
     
  • Lynch held the Eagles without a runner in scoring position until the first batter fifth inning, but the junior closed out a dominant outing by retiring the following three batters to keep Rowlett off the scoreboard. Irby retired the Eagles' sixth inning with a runner in scoring position before closing out the game in the top of the seventh.
 
Up Next
 
Jesuit Dallas and Rowlett will battle in game two of the series on Saturday in Prosper. The winner of the bi-district series will take on the victor of the Oak Ridge vs. Mesquite Horn series in the UIL Area Round. Oak Ridge captured game one from John Horn, 10-2, on Thursday.
