Oxford 14, Unatego 4

OXFORD – Oxford rebounded from its second loss of the season with its third double-digit scoring performance of the season on Thursday afternoon.

Julie Heggie hit a three-run homer in the third inning finishing 2-for-3 with five RBI and three stolen bases. Lacey Barry had three hits, three stolen bases, and four runs scored, while Jackie Heggie pitched five innings of relief striking out nine and walking just one for the win.

"We just need to keep the bats alive, no matter who the pitcher is," said Oxford coach Margo Barrows. "(On defense), when they had runners on base, we made the plays we needed to make."

Ashley Mannina had two hits for Unatego in the loss.

Canastota 6, S-E 0

SHERBURNE – Facing perennial league contender Canastota, Sherburne-Earlville held the visitors in check for most of the game, but struggled to find its own offense in a shutout defeat Thursday.

Emily Harp was a perfect 3-for-3 with two RBI to lead Canastota, Alicia Hibbard had two hits and two ribbies, and Alexis Havens went 3-for-4.

"They are a very good team, and this wasn't bad for us," said S-E assistant coach Sheila Cooman. "We have a young team with a lot of new faces, and we played pretty well defensively."
