The Jackrabbits put the hurt on the Saints with a sharp  10-2 victory. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Jackrabbits considering their two-run performance the  contest before.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:2\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/ca\/long-beach\/long-beach-poly-jackrabbits\/athletes\/tate-hammond\/?careerid=7u2jeh52gim33\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Tate Hammond<\/a> made a splash no matter where he played. On the mound, he  tossed two innings while giving up   no  earned runs off   one  hit. He has been consistent recently: he hasn&#8217;t  given up  more than one  hit in three consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter&#8217;s box,  getting on base  in three of his five plate appearances with two  runs, one  stolen base,  and two  RBI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:3\"> In other pitching news, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/ca\/long-beach\/long-beach-poly-jackrabbits\/athletes\/az-zuger\/?careerid=dd1o46726f733\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Az Zuger<\/a> looked comfortable as he  pitched four innings while giving up just two earned runs off   three  hits. The dominant performance also gave  him a new career-high in  strikeouts (four).<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:4\"> Back at the plate,  the team  relied heavily on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/ca\/long-beach\/long-beach-poly-jackrabbits\/athletes\/caleb-safotu\/?careerid=pil933aojnv77\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Caleb Safotu<\/a>, who  went 2-for-3 with three  RBI, two  runs,  and one  triple. That  triple marked the first that  he has  hit this season. Another player making a difference was <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/ca\/long-beach\/long-beach-poly-jackrabbits\/athletes\/braylen-reyes\/?careerid=ebub25k7oq5m6\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Braylen Reyes<\/a>, who  went 2-for-4 with one  stolen base, two  RBI,  and one  run.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"IDb13997240fc34a58bfeaba7ac475d419\" style=\"width:48px;height:48px;border-radius:24px;\" class=\"infosentience-float-left \" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1774451119_87_6089f6a4-f1e9-46cc-b64f-c5302d41e69d.gif\" alt=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display=\" none=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"ID07d5a3800fee433bba2158580edbd966\" style=\"color:#000000;margin-left:10px;margin-right:10px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-top:12px;font-family:Siro-Semibold,Siro;font-size:16px !important;font-weight:500;\" class=\"infosentience-standard-text infosentience-float-left \" tabindex=\"-1\">Jackrabbits<\/p>\n<p>03\/23\/26 vs St. Anthony10-203\/20\/26 vs Lakewood2-103\/18\/26 @ Artesia16-003\/17\/26 @ Artesia18-003\/13\/26 @ Jordan7-503\/11\/26 vs Cerritos7-6<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:5\">The  win (which was Long Beach Poly&#8217;s sixth in a row) raised their record to 10-4. The  victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as  they  averaged 10.0 runs over those games. As for St. Anthony, they moved to 10-3-1 with that  loss, which also ended their seven-game winning streak.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:6\"> Coming up, Long Beach Poly will venture away from home to  square off against Cabrillo  at 4:00  p.m.  on Wednesday. The Jackrabbits&#8217; pitchers better be ready for this one: the Jaguars have averaged an impressive 7.8  runs per game this season. As for St. Anthony, they will host Paraclete  at 3:15  p.m.  on Tuesday. The two teams have allowed few  runs on average (the Saints 3.7, the Spirits 2.4) so any  runs scored will be well earned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Long Beach Poly had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":235948,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[131,133,132],"class_list":["post-235947","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-long-beach","tag-long-beach","tag-long-beach-headlines","tag-long-beach-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235947","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=235947"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235947\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/235948"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=235947"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=235947"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=235947"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
