Coach Cairns’, from Delhi, team, which featured Oxford’s Nic Dodzweit, Brent Hamilton, Sherburne-Earlville’s Colin Pudney, and Unadilla Valley’s Declan Potter, defeated Unatego’s Coach Vandermark’s team 9-1 through nine innings played.

Pudney had an RBI with a bases-loaded walk and Hamilton walked twice while Potter walked once. Pudney and Hamilton also stole a base. Nic Dodzweit drilled a triple deep to center field, which he’s been known for hard hit balls throughout the season for Oxford, including one inside the park home run in their final PONY League game, but he failed to score as the next three batters struck out.
