Josh Hahn made sure the Huntington Beach High baseball team sealed the deal on the second day of the Boras Classic South tournament.

Things did get interesting for the Oilers in the bottom of the seventh inning for the second time in as many days, but Hahn, a UCLA commit, closed things out on Wednesday.

The junior left-hander got out of a jam with two runners on in the seventh, and the Oilers, ranked No. 2 in the state by CalHiSports.com, bounced back with a 4-2 win over No. 1 Notre Dame Sherman Oaks in a loser’s bracket game at JSerra High.
