ANAHEIM – Orange Lutheran’s baseball team shut out Santa Margarita three times last week in Trinity League games. Servite scored only 11 runs over their previous 10 games. So what happened Tuesday was most unexpected, as Servite beat Orange Lutheran 11-4 in a Trinity League game at Servite High. Servite coach Shawn Gilbert’s postgame evaluation … “That’s baseball,” he said. It was the type of baseball Servite needs to play to get through the logjam for the league’s third and final guaranteed playoff berth. Tied at 4-6 are Servite JSerra and Santa Margarita. Santa Margarita beat JSerra 3-2 on Tuesday. Mater Dei is 3-7 in league a 3-2 loss to league-leading St. John Bosco in 10 innings on Tuesday at Mater Dei. Orange Lutheran is in second place at 6-4. “This one is huge,” Gilbert said. “We’ve got to get a couple more. We’re good enough, we’ve just got to show up and play.” It is Orange Lutheran’s most lopsided loss this season. Previously, its largest margin of defeat was a 3-0 loss to St. John Bosco two weeks ago. It was also the most runs scored against Orange Lutheran. The Friars, No. 10 in this week’s Orange County Top 25, play No. 2 Orange Lutheran two more times this week — Wednesday and Friday at 7 p.m. — at Hart Park in Orange. Servite, where former MLB player Denny Hocking is the batting coach, collected 10 hits against the Lancers, whose pitching staff came into this week with a 1.60 ERA Friars senior third baseman Nathan Kang hit a two-run home run and finished with three RBIs. Senior designated hitter Hayden Woodson, a USC commit, had a two-run double and three RBIs overall. Senior right fielder Miles Scott had two hits, including a double, drove in a run and scored a run. Senior first baseman Tomas Cernius, who was an All-CIF football defensive end this past fall and is headed to Princeton, scored a run and had an RBI. Senior center fielder Avery Jones drove in a run and scored twice and sophomore shortstop Josh Flores had two hits and an RBI. Friars starting pitcher Toby Kwon, a senior right-hander, struck out seven over four innings. He shut out Orange Lutheran through three innings before the Lancers scored twice in the fourth inning. Kwon walked one, hit two batters and surrendered five hits as he improved to 7-1. Gilbert said Kwon has been better than he was Tuesday. “Kwon was not himself today,” Gilbert said. “He usually throws a lot more strikes. Sometimes, you’re just not yourself.” Servite scored two runs in the second inning with the help of two Orange Lutheran errors and Flores’ RBI single. The Friars’ three-run third inning included an RBI single by Cernius and a two-run double by Woodson for a 5-0 lead. Orange Lutheran scored twice in the top of the fourth on a run-scoring single by freshman second baseman Zion Avina and junior catcher Brady Murrietta’s sacrifice fly. In the bottom of the fourth Servite sophomore catcher P.J. Becerra tripled and scored on a single by Jones for a 6-2 lead. Kang’s two-run homer in the fifth stretched the Servite lead to 8-3. Orange Lutheran junior Hamilton Friedberg, who entered the week batting .375 with a team highs of 24 hits and 23 RBIs, was limited to pinch-hitting duty because he missed Monday’s practice because of an eye infection. Pinch hitting in the sixth, Friedberg singled and scored to make it 8-4. Servite in the sixth inning sent eight batters to the plate and scored three runs, without a hit and without an error contributing to those runs. Scott, who leads the Friars in RBIs with 20 RBIs, said Tuesday’s result alleviated some recent frustration. “We lost a couple of tough ones the last couple of weeks,” Scott said. “We’re battling for a spot in the playoffs. A win like this to open a series is always big.”
