Jesuit secured its 14th University Interscholastic League (UIL) bi-district championship on Friday, withstanding a comeback from Arlington and an hour-long lightning delay to eliminate the Colts with a 10-6 win at Ranger Stadium.
 
The Rangers plated eight runs in the bottom of the fifth to seize control of the contest, as a triple to center field by sophomore James Jorgensen started the rally for the Blue and Gold. Jorgensen would finish the contest 2-for-3 with three RBI on the night. Sophomore Shane Paper tacked on a pair of hits with three RBI as senior Cameron Davis drove in two runs while going 1-for-3 from the plate. 
 
Sophomore Taylor Haddock collected two hits alongside junior Jake Fults as the Rangers' two-through-five hitters went a combined 8-for-14 with seven RBI and four runs scored. Junior Asher Levy struck out two over four innings of work before senior Joe Allen threw a scoreless fifth, striking out two of the five batters he faced and ultimately securing his fourth win of the season. Senior Jax Rigelsky threw the final two innings, allowing two runs on three hits with one strikeout.
 
The Rangers will now move into the UIL Region I-6A Area Round, where they will match up against reigning state champion Flower Mound. The match up, which begins on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at Wright Field, pits Jesuit against the top-ranked team in the state and the No. 4 team in the nation according to the MaxPreps Computer Rankings.
