Camarillo has gone a perfect 4-0 against Notre Dame (SO) recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Wednesday. The Scorpions will welcome the Knights at 3:30 p.m. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Camarillo 3.6, Notre Dame (SO) 1.9) so any runs scored will be well earned.
Camarillo is probably headed into the contest with a chip on their shoulder considering Moorpark just ended the team's six-game winning streak on Wednesday. They fell just short of the Musketeers by a score of 4-2. Having soared to a lofty 13 runs in the game before, the Scorpions couldn't push the score so high this time.
