The Rangers scored six runs in the first inning and never looked back en route to a dominant, 10-0 win over Sachse in the decisive third game of the University Interscholastic League (UIL) Region 2-6A Bi-District Round on Saturday in Allen, Texas. Jesuit saw both a stellar group of performances from the top of the order along with a dominant showing on the mound to punch its ticket to the second round of the UIL State Tournament.
 
Sophomore Gavin Perryman earned the win on the mound, throwing a complete game two-hitter for his second win of the season. Senior Jaden Woodson led all hitters, going 3-for-3 with three runs scored and an RBI, including a first-inning triple. Sophomore Connor Chavez set the Ranger offense up for success with a 2-for-2 performance, launching a lead-off triple before adding a single as the Rangers batted around in the first inning.
 
Junior Jalon Mack went 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored while senior Jack Lynch, who scored the go-ahead, two-run double in the 11th inning of Friday night's 6-2, extra-inning win, drove in two runs alongside fellow senior Caden Carlson. Senior Garrett Reuben, junior Braxton Boyle and third year Tanner Jones added hits.
 
Jesuit jumped on the Mustangs early as a leadoff triple by Chavez, run-scoring single by Boyle and RBI triple by Woodson gave the Rangers a quick, 2-0 lead. Mack added a sacrifice fly to plate Woodson before Carlson laced a bases-loaded triple down the left field line, scoring senior Garrett Reuben and junior pinch runner Alek Houillion for a five-run, first-inning lead.
 
Chavez would finish with two hits in the first inning, driving home junior Tanner Jones with a single to left center in his second at-bat of the opening frame. Lynch would keep the pressure on the Mustangs with two runs in the second, scored on a single down the right field line by Lynch and a sacrifice fly to left by Reuben. The Rangers scoring would be capped by another two-run inning in the third as Mack laced a line drive down the right field line that would plate Boyle before Woodson scored on a sacrifice fly by Lynch.
 
Perryman made quick work of the Mustangs in his stellar, five-inning outing, clinching the win for the Rangers in 46 pitches, averaging just shy of 10 pitches per inning. Sachse put two runners aboard in the first, but Perryman forced an inning-ending groundout to work his way out of the jam. The Mustangs threatened again, placing a runner aboard with in the bottom of the third, but a 4-6-3 double play ended the inning. Perryman would retire the Sachse fourth in order before finishing off the Mustangs in the fifth.
 
Jesuit will move on to play Rockwall in the UIL Area Round. Rockwall defeated Copperas Cove in three games, winning the first game 8-7 before Copperas Cove forced a third game with a 5-4, comeback win on Saturday afternoon. Rockwall run-ruled Copperas Cove, 15-1, to decisively win the third game and advance to the area round. Jesuit and Rockwall met once this season on Mar. 7 in the Highland Park Classic, a contest won by Jesuit, 7-3 as the Rangers jumped out to a 6-0 lead after three innings and never looked back.
 
Game locations and times will be determined after the area round matchup is solidified. With Saturday's victory, Jesuit advances to the area round for the ninth consecutive season as the Rangers have captured the first round series every year since 2010.
