I attended the Bishop Amat/St. Johns game. Bishop Amat was leading 3-0 in the 3rd when the 1B misplayed a foul pop up that would have the 3rd out of the inning. The next pitch is a bloop double that scores two runs followed by an error that ties the game up. Silverstein hits a two run homer in the 5th. LJ Hoes singles in in the final run for St. Johns. The hitter of the ay was Jordan Fox from Bishop Amat. He was 3-3 with two 2B and an intentional walk.
