They narrowly escaped with a win as the team sidled past the Agoura Chargers 7-6. That result was just more of the same for these two, as Newbury Park also won the last time the pair played last Tuesday.
Cameron Fausset made a big impact no matter where he played. On the mound, he pitched 4.1 innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off six hits. Fausset was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Cade Falsken, who scored three runs and stole three bases while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now stolen at least one in the last three games he's played. Owen Meli was another key contributor, going 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI.
Newbury Park pushed their record up to 7-3 with that victory, which was their third straight at home. Those victories were due in large part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.3 runs per game. As for Agoura, they have traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 6-6 record this season.
Newbury Park will have a chance to go back-to-back against Agoura: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 3:30 p.m. on Friday.
