There's no place like home for El Camino, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Wednesday. They were the clear victors by a 17-3 margin over the Fallbrook Warriors on Friday. Considering the Wildcats have won six matchups by more than six runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Makayla Boone and Kailey Stanford made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, Boone pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Meanwhile, Stanford struck out six batters over three innings while giving up three earned runs off four hits (and not a single walk). Boone has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances. At the plate, Boone went a perfect 4-for-4 with four runs, four RBI, and one stolen base, while Stanford scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-2. That's the most runs Stanford has posted since back in April of 2024.

In other batting news, Kaylani Feliciano-Taele was a standout: she scored two runs while going 3-for-3. That's the most hits she has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Bella Mendoza, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with two stolen bases, three RBI, and one double.

El Camino was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .548. They are 6-1 when they post a batting average of .375 or better.

El Camino moved to 9-6 with that victory, which also ended their three-game losing streak. As for Fallbrook, they dropped their record down to 3-5-1 with the loss, which was their third straight on the road.

Coming up, El Camino will be playing at home against University City at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Fallbrook, they will take on San Ysidro in a tournament on Saturday. The Cougars have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 11.5 runs per game on average), something the Warriors will no doubt try to take advantage of.
