For whatever reason, it's the away team that's had the advantage when Central and Oak Park meet (three straight games heading into this one) and that held true again on Wednesday.

Kanon Wetlaufer spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered four earned runs on three hits and racked up six Ks.
