Several local scholastic baseball teams ran into some tough luck last week on the diamond. La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) School began the week with a 4-2 loss to San Dieguito, despite two doubles and a run scored by Derek Hatfield. In a 6-3 loss to The Bishop’s School three days later, LJCD’s Ben Cohn started the game on the mound and pitched five strong innings, giving up three hits, one walk and one unearned run while striking out five. LJCD’s bullpen ran into some tough times in the next inning, allowing five runs on only one hit. Connor Gerhart led the LJCD offense with three hits, one run and one RBI. Ben Sweeney and Cohn each contributed big hits in the game. Despite only having one win on the season, LJCD head coach John Edman noted that the Torreys are getting closer to being a solid ball club. “I’m confident that we will be there by the end of the season,” Edman commented. The Bishop’s School (7-5, 2-0) was led in the win over LJDC by Shane Dillon, who went 1-for-1 with a homer and two RBIs. Bishop’s also recorded a 7-6 victory over Francis Parker, as Chris Ludwig (2-for-4, four RBIs, home run), Sam Brier (2-for-4, three RBIs, home run) and Kyle Gantz (3-for-3) led the way. Jesse Jacobsen-Gal (1-0) pitched 3 2/3 innings of relief, only giving up one run for the Knights. Elsewhere, La Jolla High (7-7) came into this week looking to erase a three-game losing streak. In action last week, the Vikings fell to Cathedral Catholic in a pair of games by scores of 13-2 and 19-2. Stephen Foster, Max Stroll and Robbie Beathard drove in runs for La Jolla in the losses. Finally, University City High entered play this week with a record of 6-7. The Centurions scored an 8-4 win over Castle Park in their most recent victory, with David Washington and Jonas Noack each driving in a pair of runs.
