Bishop baseball fell to Highland High School of Bakersfield 4-2 Friday in the CIF Central Section 1st round. The battle between the number 8 and 9 seeds was tightly contested with Highland winning with a pair of runs in the top of the 8th. The Scots scratched out runs in the 1st and 4th grabbing a 2-0 lead. Bishop answered with a run in the 4th and 5th to tie the game. The game remained tied until the Scots two run 8th inning.
The Scots advance to the 2nd round to face #1 seed Monache. Bishop says goodbye to a talented senior class. Elliott Douda, Brayden Leeson, Aiden Frechette, Will Kemp, Jesiah Dondero, Reuben Nicholson, Rickie Talavera and Mike Trejo all played their final games Friday. As talented as this group is, with four athletes (Leeson, Kemp, Nicholson, Talavera) intending to play junior college baseball they will graduate with a 0-4 record in the CIF playoffs.
