Friday at Cooperstown, Oxford-Norwich played to a 2-2 tie with Cooperstown over eight innings with the game called due to the field’s night curfew.

Ben Barnes logged seven innings striking out 11, walking two, and giving up two earned runs on five hits. Lindenthaler pitched a scoreless eighth inning.
