Cameron carries River Bandits with seven RBIs

So far this season, it seems whenever Daz Cameron's teammates get rolling, he's right in the middle of things.
With a two-homer game under his belt during Class A Quad Cities' 18-run onslaught on April 9, the Astros' ninth-ranked prospect collected a career-high seven RBIs on a 3-for-5 night Friday as the River Bandits pounded Clinton, 19-2, at Ashford University Field.

"It's kind of how it always is, you just want to keep things going," Cameron said. "You see everybody swinging well and you just want to keep it going and keep riding the wave."
The 20-year-old outfielder wasted no time to make an impact against the LumberKings as he jumped on the first pitch he saw and sent it over the right field wall for a three-run homer in the second inning.
"I was trying to be aggressive," he said. "Just looking to get a good fastball and put a swing on it. Every swing, I want it to be my 'A' swing, no matter what."
The long ball was the fourth for the 2015 first-round pick, doubling the total from his first two professional seasons.
"I just worked on driving the ball more consistently and just trying to get a good pitch to hit," Cameron said. "That's pretty much it. Put a good swing on it and hit it hard."
Cameron batted twice in Quad Cities' 10-run third inning. He brought in a run with a single up the middle, then lifted a sacrifice fly to center that made it 13-0.
"Our focus was just to win the ballgame, and we wanted to put up as many runs as we could to make it happen," he said.

The Georgia native and son of former Major Leaguer Mike Cameron registered his final two RBIs in the fifth when he lined a triple to right off right-handed reliever Jeffeson Medina.
"I was trying to stay middle of the field tonight and it just happened that the pitches I saw stayed on the middle third, so I was looking to drive them over to [right field] and not doing too much with it," Cameron said.
Needing a double for the cycle, he grounded out to second in the seventh and struck out in the eighth.
Randy César, Chuckie Robinson and Taylor Jones matched Cameron with three hits apiece, while Marcos Almonte went 4-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored.
Astros No. 5 prospect Forrest Whitley allowed three hits and struck out seven over three scoreless innings. No. 29 prospect Jorge Alcala (2-0) gave up a run on two hits and a walk while striking out five over four frames for the win.
