Greene tops Bobcats in MAC consolation game
OXFORD – The Blackhawks were tied 1-1 with Unatego after four innings of play but the errors by the Oxford defense were costly and allowed the Spartans to run away with the 11-1 win Thursday.
“There were too many errors to overcome in this one for us,” said head coach Ed Holmquist. Oxford ended the game with seven total, some resulting in Unatego putting runs up on the scoreboard.
The Blackhawks Varsity knotted the game up at one in the bottom of the fourth inning when Allison Beckwith sent a line drive double to left field, scoring Trinity Vargas from first. Vargas was on the bases after drawing a four-pitch walk by the Spartans’ Paige McCoy.
However, after scoring two runs in the fifth inning, Unatego added another five runs in the sixth to secure the win.
McCoy went seven innings in the pitchers circle, allowing one run on two hits and striking out eight.
Beckwith was on the rubber for Oxford to start. She surrendered eight runs on six hits over five and two-thirds innings. The Oxford senior continued to add to the strike out record, sitting down 11 in the loss. Karly Marshman threw one and one-third innings out in relief.
Beckwith and Trinity Vargas each collected one hit to lead the Blackhawks at the plate.
Unatego catcher Hali Lucia recorded three hits in her team’s win over Oxford, finishing 3-for-4 at the dish. She came away with a triple in the fifth inning, a play gave her an RBI for the game.
Oxford will now travel to Sidney on Friday for the final game of the MAC Conference mini-tournaments. They will then wait to hear about their Section IV Class C seed, which will be announced Monday. Friday’s game is scheduled for 4:30 p.m.

Greene 7, Bainbridge-Guilford 3
GREENE – The Lady Trojans got revenge against the Bobcats Thursday after, winning the Midstate Athletic Conference consolation finals by a final of 7-3.
Greene fell to the Bainbridge-Guilford 4-1 earlier this season, ending their undefeated steak to start the season. Using McKenzie Scott hit a two-run triple in the third inning helped the home team get vengeance that loss.
Scott’s triple in the frame extended the Trojans lead over B-G to 5-1. Her teammate and eighth-grader Payton Yahner ripped a two-run double in the fifth inning to add two more runs to Greene’s lead.
The Bobcats added another two runs in the top of the sixth, cutting Greene’s lead down to four runs but the Trojans’ defense shut the rally down short of any attempt of a comeback.
Greene’s Olivia Kennedy went the distance for her 10th victory of the season, striking out eight in the process. Her colleague’s Kylie Ferris and McKenna Sergi helped her out at the plate, each finishing the game with two hits.
Bainbridge-Guilford’s Bailey Hart ripped a double for one of the Bobcat’s eight hits in the contest while Alexis Carr had a home run in one of her at-bats.
Greene improves to 12-3 on the season and travels to Newark Valley on Friday for a non-league contest before sectional play starts next week. Game is scheduled for 4:30 p.m.
