Oxford 8, Unadilla Valley 6

OXFORD – Oxford jumped out to an early lead, and survived a shaky sixth frame to avenge last week’s loss to the Storm.

Nate Sortino pitched five innings and allowed just one run for the win. P.J. Hubman came on in relief in the sixth after UV scored a five-spot, and earned the save. “Nate pitched a great five innings and really was in control,” said Oxford coach Chris Palmer. “Other than the sixth, we played a really good game.”

Sortino aided his own effort finishing 3-for-4 at the plate with two runs and two RBI. Robert Amor matched Sortino’s day exactly, and Jared Hueth went 2-for-4.

Jake Curtis led UV with two RBI, while Tyler Peet and Justin Peek collected two hits apiece. “It was good to come back and get a win against UV, and it puts us on track for the division games,” Palmer said.
