Baseball Recap: Long Beach Poly Drops Season-High Score on Cabrillo

Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Long Beach Poly). They blew past the Cabrillo Jaguars 16-1 on Wednesday. The victory was some much needed relief for the Jackrabbits as it spelled an end to their three-game losing streak.

Ryan King looked comfortable as he struck out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). Furthermore, he didn't allow a single walk, the first time he has blanked an opponent since back in April of 2024.
