Oxford wins pitching duel with Greene
Baseball
Oxford 3, Greene 1
OXFORD – Oxford played error-free baseball, and winning pitcher Andrew Golden allowed a single run in the sixth inning in the Blackhawks’ victory over Greene Tuesday afternoon.
Although outhit by the Trojans, 7-5, Oxford made those hits count. Jeff Lawton, who scored two of Oxford’s runs, singled in the opening inning, stole second, and scored on Golden’s single. Lawton figured in Oxford’s tally in the third as well reaching on a walk, and eventually scoring on Richard Ryan’s single.
After Greene’s Lane Whittaker scored in the sixth on a fielder’s choice, Oxford notched a key insurance run when Matt Moore’s sacrifice fly scored Golden.
“It was a very well played high school baseball game,” said Oxford coach Chris Palmer. “Both pitchers were throwing strikes, and the only error (by Greene) was on a tough chance. Andrew did a nice job keeping their hitters off balance.”

Bainbridge-Guilford 16, Whitney Point 15
BAINBRIDGE - Bainbridge-Guilford won a wild, back-and-forth battle with Whitney Point Tuesday scoring two runs in the bottom of the seventh for its fifth victory of the season.
Morgan Shew capped a 5-for-5 day with a game-tying single to make it 15-15. Taylor Lamont followed with her second double of the game plating Rachel Smith. “This game was a good lesson because we were losing by eight early in the game,” said B-G coach Cindy Cifone. “Sometimes we’ve dropped our heads when we were losing, but we kept them up tonight and we believed. We were on fire with our hitting, and we didn’t quit.”
Whitney Point took a 10-2 lead scoring nine in the second, but the Bobcats answered with seven more runs in the bottom half of the frame to close the gap to one. After the third inning, the lead changed hands several times until B-G’s winning rally. “You knew this game was going to come down to the last inning, and I’m just glad we had last ups,” Cifone said.
B-G’s Marissa Thornton went 4-for-5 with two RBI, Justine Pratt had three hits– all doubles – and two ribbies, and Megan Ferrara hit a two-run homer in the first. Winning pitcher Taylor Palmatier had 97 career strikeouts entering the game. She fanned six for the win to pass 100 career strikeouts.
