Meanwhile, while Camarillo put up plenty of runs on Thursday, the same can't be said for Oak Park. The Scorpions were the clear victors by an 11-0 margin over the Eagles. Considering the Scorpions have won seven matches by more than six runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.
Camarillo is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine games. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.6 runs over those games.

Fans could be in store for some top-tier slugging on Wednesday. Royal hasn't had any problems when it comes to power this season, having averaged 1 home runs per game. However, it's not like Camarillo struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 2.1 home runs. With so much power on both teams, it'll be down to the pitchers to keep the mound locked down.
