It looked like a massive mismatch on paper.

Damien hosted Chino Hills in a Baseline League showdown on Wednesday evening.

CHHS entered the contest 9-1-2, and they were 7-0-1 over their last eight games.

The Huskies are also ranked No. 121 in the state by MaxPreps.

On the flip side, Damien is 1,240 spots behind Chino Hills at No. 1,361.

And they were 3-5 in their last eight games.

After being locked in a 1-1 tie at the break, the Spartans scored a pair of second-half goals to earn a 3-2 victory.

Jager Gonzalez scored both second-half goals off assists from Noah Castellano and Jacob Braunstein.

Landon Ewers had Damien’s first-half goal off a corner kick.

Franco Molina and Ben Brown scored off assists from Jordan Corona and Jase Dunbar in the loss.

Up next: CHHS and DHS will both be in action tonight (Friday).

The Spartans host Los Osos and the Huskies welcome Rancho Cucamonga.

Both games are slated for 6.

Box Score:
