OXFORD – Another quick start carried Oxford to victory.

The Blackhawks scored three runs in the first to finish off a 4-0 week with a one-run win over Deposit Friday. In all four victories, Oxford scored at least one run in the opening inning.

Andrew Golden had a two-run triple in the first inning, and Matt Moore followed with an RBI groundout. One inning later, Cameron Heggie singled in a run, and he came in on Golden’s second triple of the game.

Heggie, Golden, and Jeff Lawton all went 2-for-3, and Golden pitched a complete game for the win. “It was a great week for us,” said Oxford coach Chris Palmer. “We’ve been able to get the early lead and make it hold up.”

G-MU 11, Laurens 3

COPES CORNERS – G-MU played opportunistic offense, and rode the strong pitching of Jason Barrows to earn its second win of the season Friday.

The Raiders benefited from nine Laurens errors, and made the Leopards pay by converting those extra baserunners into runs. “That’s what I was most happy about: Taking care of things when we had runners in scoring position,” said G-MU coach Rick Mohrein. “No matter how we got the runners on, we put the ball in play and made them make plays. That’s half the battle, and we had some timely hits.”
