On the hitting side, Reef Sharman was incredible, firing off two home runs and six RBI while going 2-for-5. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in RBI.

West's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: El Segundo hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .324. It's a different story for West, though, as they've only averaged .183. Will they be able to contain El Segundo's hitters?
