    Jarett Sabol’s mammoth home run leads South to win in the OC All-Star Game
    • June 5, 2025

    IRVINE – Jarett Sabol’s long home run in the sixth inning provided the winning run for the South in a 3-1 victory over the North in the Orange County All-Star Baseball Game on Wednesday at Great Park.

    Wednesday’s game was the 57th edition of the event. It was organized and managed by The Ryan Lemmon Foundation.

    The South has won the game for three years in a row. The South holds a 33-23-1 lead in the series.

    Sabol was named the South team’s MVP. Huntington Beach’s Trevor Goldenetz, who hit a double and had three stolen bases, was the North MVP.

    Servite’s Miles Scott won the game’s Hustle Award.

    Sabol’s homer that he pulled to right field was estimated at 380 feet.

    The South scored first. Gavin Lauridsen of Foothill singled to lead off the fourth inning. He scored on a double by Canyon’s Blake Hesper for a 1-0 lead.

    The North tied it in the bottom of the fifth inning. Scott reached on a two-base error. An errant throw on Scott’s steal of third base rolled down the left-field line, allowing Scott to score to make it 1-1.

    Sabol’s solo home run on a 2-0 fastball in the top of the sixth inning to put the South on top 2-1.

    Sabol, who signed with USC and whose brother Blake Sabol is a catcher for the Boston Red Sox, hit two home runs during the regular season.

    Has he ever hit one as far as Wednesday’s home run?

    “I don’t think so,” Sabol said. “I think that was the farthest I’ve hit in a while. I was like ‘take a hack and I miss’ or ‘take a hack and I connect.’”

    The South made it 3-1 in the top of the seventh. Becker Sybirski of Laguna Beach doubled to right-center field. Sybirski eventually scored when JSerra’s Jordan Marian reached on a fielder’s choice.

    The North had Edison’s Gavin Johnson on third base with one out. Sybirski got consecutive strikeouts to end the inning and keep the score at 3-1.

    Sabol said being part of the county all-star game is a highlight of his high school baseball career.

    “It’s been really fun coming out here,” he said. “I’ve known a lot of these kids, playing summer ball and in high school as well. To come out here as a team is a big blessing and to top if off with that home run just made my day.”
