Carlisle's walk-off homer leads Portsmouth baseball to second late win in as many days
PORTSMOUTH – For the second time in as many days the Portsmouth High School baseball team saved its best for last.
After beating the defending Division I state champions in extra innings on Wednesday, Jake Carlisle blasted a two-run, walk-off home run on Thursday as the Clippers celebrated Senior Night with a 5-4 win over Bishop Guertin. It was Carlisle’s second homer of the game.
The Cardinals took a 4-3 lead in the seventh on Ryan Haskell's single to right, but Sebastian Lampert, pitching in relief of starter Matthew Minckler, got back-to-back strikeouts to keep it a one-run game.
Carlisle had two hits and three RBIs for the Clippers, while Devin Driscoll laced an RBI double.
Lampert allowed three hits and two earned runs over the final 2 2/3 innings, striking out three and earning the win.
