Oxford 6, Cooperstown 5

COOPERSTOWN – Oxford scored two runs in the top of the sixth to open a three-run lead and hold on for the Otsenango Pony League playoff victory over Cooperstown Thursday.

Josh Nelson walked and Austin Crawford was hit by a pitch to start a two-out rally for Oxford. Stolen bases moved the runners up, and a Cooperstown throwing error to third base created the three-run cushion.

Nelson delivered Oxford's biggest hit of the game lashing a three-run triple in the second inning to score Jack Spence, Josh Christian, and Brad Beckwith.

Beckwith went 2-for-2 in the game, and Josiah Crandall added an RBI hit to support Crawford's winning pitching effort.

Crawford fanned 15 and scattered eight hits.
