EL CAJON (5-7-17) — Arizona State University-bound ZACH HOGUEISSON hoisted his 10th home run of the season and BRADLEY JEREMIAH pitched a complete game 2-hit shutout as the Patriots pounded Serra 9-0 in Saturday’s (May 6) non-conference game.
Hogueisson’s bomb came with one man on in the 5th inning, which was part of a 7-run explosion for Christian.
After Christian took a 2-0 lead in the 2nd inning on a wild pitch and an RBI single by JUSTIN LEDGERWOOD, the Patriots put it all together in the 5th.
CHASE WEHSENER set the tone with a leadoff double in the 5th. Hogueisson whacked his long fly ball over the right field fence to make it 4-0.
The rally for the Patriots continued in the 5th as GARRETT NIELSEN singled to left and Ledgerwood singled to right. Then ETHAN CONTRERAS beat out a sacrifice bunt to load the bases. JAKOB BECK hit into a fielder’s choice, scoring Nielsen. MATTHEW RICHARDSON ripped a single to left to reload the bases. That set the stage for JESSE MATTHEWS’ line drive double that drove in three runs.
Richardson capped the scoring by racing home on a wild pitch.
Jeremiah held Serra to two hits as he rolled his record to 5-2.
FOOTHILLS CHRISTIAN 7, MOUNT MIGUEL 0 – The Knights of Foothills Christian High maintained their poise and position for the final Ocean League season push with an impressive 7-0 non-league victory Saturday (May) in Spring Valley.
