Oceanside had lost five straight on the road, but on Wednesday they dropped down to 10-11 to make it six. They lost 7-1 to the El Camino Wildcats. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Pirates of the 17-5 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in May of 2025.
Oceanside saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Drew Larsen, who went 2-for-3 with one double.
As for El Camino, the win was the seventh in a row for them, bringing their record up to 12-8. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.6 runs on average over those games.
On El Camino's side, Brooke Stark spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on six hits and racked up seven Ks. Stark has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in ten consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Bianca Rocha, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double. Cambria Lyon was another key player, going 2-for-4 with two runs, two doubles, and one RBI.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Oceanside will challenge San Dieguito Academy at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. The Mustangs' pitching crew has only allowed four runs per game this season, so the Pirates' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for El Camino, they will host Vista at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. The Wildcats' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Panthers have averaged an impressive 7.6 runs per game this season.
