RICHARDSON, Texas - James Jorgensen scored on a Nate Iannariello bunt in the eighth inning to help Jesuit Dallas defeat J.J. Pearce, 3-2, in a District 7-6A battle at Mustang Ballpark on Tuesday.

Jorgensen and Hudson Voss combined for 20 strikeouts on the mound for Jesuit (11-6-2, 3-0). Jorgensen fanned 14 in five innings while allowing two runs (one unearned) on two hits. Voss (1-2) came on in relief in the sixth and kept the Pearce batters off balance, striking out six of the 12 batters he faced across three innings.

Jesuit found itself in a 2-0 hole after three innings and was unable to move runners around to score, leaving seven men on in the first four frames, including leaving them loaded in the third. But the Rangers continued to battle, scoring one in the fifth when Taylor Haddock doubled and scored on a Jorgensen single, and then tying it in the sixth on a Charlie Wilson pinch-hit RBI that scored Hudson Yobp. 

Brooks Hale suffered the loss for the Mustangs, throwing the final three innings after left hander Noah Joseph allowed one run on a hit and four walks in five innings. Pearce (10-8, 2-1) finished with five hits compared to seven for Jesuit.

The teams will meets again on Thursday at Wright Field on the Jesuit Dallas campus with first picture at 7 p.m.
