It’s two strikes and you’re out for this World Series scammer, cops say.

Christopher Javone Cross, 18, was arrested twice in two days in Houston for trying to peddle bogus tickets to the games between the city’s Astros and the Washington Nationals, the Houston Chronicle reports.

The Georgia teen first tried to tried to sell $1,200 worth of fake World Series tickets on Monday — but got busted outside Minute Maid Park when the buyer turned out to be an undercover officer, the newspaper reported.

Then, after being freed, he got nabbed on Wednesday for the same crime when he unwittingly approached an undercover Department of Homeland Security agent and offered him four fake tickets to Game 2 for $450 a pop, the Houston Chronicle reports.

Cross then took the DHS agent to another man, Myree Jaborrie, 37, who had the bogus tickets, a police spokesman told the newspaper.

Cross remained in custody on trademark counterfeiting charges as of Thursday, city jail records show.

Cross is expected to return to court on Oct. 31.

Jaborrie, meanwhile, has been released after posting $100 bail.
