BASEBALL

Thousand Oaks 3, Camarillo 1--Scott Barkman threw a three-hitter and struck out 12 to lead visiting Thousand Oaks in a Marmonte League game.

Barkman (3-1), a senior left-hander, gave up four runs and six hits in a a 6-2 loss to Westlake last Friday. But his curveball returned to form Wednesday. He allowed only five balls out of the infield and did not allow an earned run, lowering his earned-run average to 0.64.

“I didn’t even have a breaking ball Friday and my fastball was up,” Barkman said. “I was trying to aim it too much, so (Wednesday) I decided just to throw it.”

Barkman pitched out of four jams to help Thousand Oaks (6-1, 2-1) remain 1 1/2 games behind first-place Westlake. Camarillo (5-5, 0-3) suffered its fifth consecutive loss and wasted the effort of Tajah Merrill (1-1), a junior left-hander who allowed only two earned runs.

Thousand Oaks took a 2-0 lead in the second inning on Brian Capella’s run-scoring groundout and Brett Herman’s two-out single that scored David Skeels.
