Jesuit Dallas baseball split the second day of the Five Tool Festival on Friday at Wright Field, rebounding from a narrow, 9-8 setback to West Monroe with a convincing, 11-1 victory over Kamehameha (Hawaii).
 
The Rangers bats came alive against Kamehameha, launching three extra base hits and plating 11 runs on six hits while senior Patrick Brady held the Warriors in check, striking out 10 batters and allowing one run on three hits. Junior Taylor Haddock led the way offensively, driving in a team-high four runs while going 1-for-2 from the plate. Senior Cooper Thomas ended the tame in the sixth inning with a bases-clearing triple that put the Rangers' lead above the 10-run mark. Junior Alex Bar would launch a home run in the bottom of the sixth to jump-start the Rangers' game-ending rally.
 
Against West Monroe, senior E'mar Fleming II and junior Charlie Wilson led the way for the Rangers, driving in two runs apiece while senior Brooks Kowal and junior Braxton Barber scattered two hits. Haddock, sophomore Roman Derichsweiler and Kowal each drove in a run as junior Jacob Martinez scored two runs for the Blue and Gold. 
 
The Rangers staged an inspired comeback, rallying from a four-run deficit in the top of the fourth. Wilson started the rally with a home run on the first pitch of the bottom of the fourth, cutting the lead to three. After West Monroe added a critical insurance run in the fifth, the Ranges plated two runs in the bottom of the frame to close the gap to two runs. In the bottom of the sixth, Jesuit closed the gap to one but were unable to score the game-tying run prior to the time limit stoppage.
 
The Five Tool Festival will conclude on Saturday as Jesuit will host two additional games at Wright Field. Saturday's action will begin at 10 a.m. as Jesuit hosts Maryknoll (Hawaii) before an in-state showdown at 12:30 p.m against Frenship closes the Rangers' tournament schedule.
