OXFORD— After a rainout in the first PONY game of the summer season against Delhi, it was a cloudy day and a good night for baseball on Monday night. Oxford hosted Cooperstown, where they fell 14-4.

Cooperstown broke a 1-1 tie with a big third inning, scoring 11 runs.

Oxford fought back in the bottom of the fourth inning, but the Hawkeyes 16U team scored two additional runs to end the game after five innings.

After Cooperstown got on the board on an RBI triple, Oxford tied it up as Joey Locke singled to lead off the bottom of the first. He then stole second and third and scored on Uri Tracy’s sac-fly to center field.

Oxford scored three runs in the bottom of the fourth on passed balls and a wild pitch.

Locke, Colton Hurlburt, and Noah Bush had the only hits for the Blackhawks in the loss. Josh Knapp reached on a hit by pitch while Locke, Bush, Evan Johnson, Troy Stone, and Ryker Heggie drew walks to reach base.

Josh Knapp started the game on the mound for Oxford, going two and a third, allowing six runs (five earned) on one hit, seven walks, and struck out five batters.

Eddie Ingraham pitched in relief, allowing six earned runs on one hit, and six walks. Alarik Davenport pitched the rest of the game, where he allowed two earned runs on two hits, two walks, and struck out four batters.
