Riverside’s Jayce Ruiz struck out the first nine Glenbrook Apaches he faced on his way to a one-hit performance in the Rebels’ 5-0 shutout win Wednesday.

Ruiz, who reportedly has committed to Pearl River Community College, finished the day with 13 strikeouts.

Riverside, the number 6 seed in the LHSAA Division IV Select baseball playoffs, advances to a quarterfinal matchup with number 3 seed Cedar Creek.

Glenbrook managed to keep it close, trailing only 2-0 through the top of the sixth, but a two-run double by Brody Vicknair helped the Rebels plate three in the bottom of the inning for the final tally.

Designated hitter Noah Martin had the only hit for the Apaches.
