A first-inning home run by Jordan Lawlar sparked the Rangers to an 11-1 win over Nimitz on Thursday at Wright Field.

Senior Drew Messick launched a double for Jesuit's second extra-base hit of the game, finishing the game 2-for-4 from the plate to join senior Gardner Lawrence in the multi-hit column.
 
Senior Gavin Perryman threw 2.2 innings of work on the mound, striking out four of the nine batters he faced while allowing one run on no hits. Junior Jake Storey picked up his first save of the season with 3.1 innings of work, striking out three batters and keeping the Vikings scoreless over the final innings of the six-inning run-rule victory.
