The Jesuit High School (JHS) baseball team completed district play on Saturday, April 20, after falling a second time to the Rummel Raiders at John Ryan Stadium. Rummel’s two-game sweep of Jesuit (22-10, 8-4) prevented the Blue Jays from claiming a share of a District 9-5A Catholic League title. 
 
Moreover, the Brother Martin Crusaders (24-5, 9-3), who were swept by JHS in the opening district series, rallied Saturday in the bottom of the last inning to defeat St. Augustine, 7-6, and earn sole possession of the title.
 
The Jays finished the regular season with 22 wins, three more than they had at this point last year.
