The Camden Hills Windjammers will take on the Brunswick Dragons at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Camden Hills will be looking to extend their current eight-game winning streak.
Camden Hills had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the seven-run drubbing they dealt Mt. Blue on Tuesday. The Windjammers put the hurt on the Cougars with a sharp 9-2 victory. The result was nothing new for the Windjammers, who have now won four matchups by seven runs or more so far this season.
Maya Stone was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She struck out nine batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off one hit. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, getting on base in three of her five plate appearances with two runs and one RBI.

Camden Hills has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 8.5 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Brunswick struggles in that department as they've been averaging 7.8 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
