Fair Oaks 3, Citrus Heights 2 (League: 5-4, Overall: 5-5) - June 19 @ Del Campo High - In sharp contrast to its 11-6 victory in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Citrus Heights, defense and pitching took over in the second game as Fair Oaks came from behind for a 3-2 victory.
    Citrus Heights got on the board first scoring two runs in the bottom of the third. Fair Oaks starting pitcher Alex Graham struck out the first two batters he faced, but then a double to right center followed by a hit brought home one run and a bad hop single and a dropped fly ball in the outfield led to a 2-0 Citrus Heights lead.
    Both teams went out in order in the fourth, but the Oaks tied the game in the top of the fifth as third baseman Joe Caffrey hit a one out smash to first that couldn't be fielded. With two outs, catcher Doug Matlack's double to right scored Caffrey. Center fielder L.J. Sneath doubled to right field to bring home Matlack and make it a tie game at 2-2.
    A leadoff home run by right fielder Todd Jennings in the top of the sixth gave the Oaks a 3-2 lead. Graham put Citrus Heights out in order in both the bottom of the sixth and the seventh for the complete-game victory.
