Afton 16, Oxford 3

OXFORD – Mike Muller pitched five strong innings for Afton, who defeated Oxford for the second straight day yesterday afternoon.

In a near replica of Wednesday’s win, Afton burst to a big lead at the start scoring five runs, and padded the advantage in the middle innings. Muller allowed two hits striking out nine and leaving with a 13-2 lead. “The last two days, we’ve struggled to get the third out,” said Oxford coach Chris Palmer. “Afton has capitalized both days.”

Paul Hamilton had three hits and six RBI to lead the Crimson Knights. Adam Rupakus had two hits and four runs scored, and Corey Mohrein went 2-for-2.
