JSZ hit the diamond for Tuesday afternoon high school baseball action. Don Bosco Prep tops DePaul Catholic in a great North Jersey battle, plus Cherokee looks to stay perfect against Rancocas Valley in an Olympic Conference clash in South Jersey. Check back as the highlights are posted throughout the night!

Don Bosco Prep 3 DePaul Catholic 2

The Ironmen emerged as winners in Tuesday clash of elite North Jersey programs. Dylan Espinal broke a 2-2 tie in the sixth inning when he laced a would-be single to left field that popped off the turf and raced past the left fielder. That ultimately became a go-ahead solo inside-the-park HR to put the Ironmen in front for good. Junzen Sarza picked up the win after tossing three scoreless innings of relief for Don Bosco Prep (5-0). JC Pacheco had a two-run inside-the-park home run for DePaul Catholic (6-1) in the loss.
