After hitting seven home runs in the first game, Fair Oaks failed to get one over the fence in the second, but still beat up on Citrus Heights, 12-1.

    In the second, Fair Oaks scored another pair of runs as third baseman Justin Hoppes got a two out hit to left. Catcher Brad Hicks followed with a walk and then both runners scored on Crone's double to right. Crone tried for third on the play, but was tagged out. He stopped in the baseline in front of third, forcing the third baseman to come after him, giving Hicks time to score.
