WHITNEY POINT – On Thursday, the Oxford Blackhawks’ PONY League team traveled to Whitney Point, where they picked up a 9-5 win. Oxford had two big scoring innings along with great pitching to help seal the victory.

The Blackhawks scored four runs in the third inning and capped the night off with a three-run seventh. The offense tallied 10 hits with Landen Olinski and Nic Dodzweit paving the way with three hits and two RBIs a piece. Oxford also had five stolen bases on the night with Kyle Benjamin leading the team with two.

Conner Dunagan was marvelous on the mound for the Blackhawks. He went four and two-third innings, allowing three runs on one hit, but struck out 15 batters. Dunagan had a clean inning in the second, where he struck out the side and only needed nine pitches to do so.

Blake Barrows and Nic Dodzweit pitched in relief to close out the game. Both allowed one run each, but kept Whitney Point from any further damage. Dodzweit struck out four batters while Barrows struck out one in a combined 20 strikeout outing for Oxford.
