OXFORD – After a bit of a break in between games, the Oxford Blackhawks softball team hosted the Unatego Spartans on Monday afternoon. The Blackhawks came away with a tight 3-2 victory to improve to 3-2 on the season.
Unatego got on the board first with a run before Oxford answered back to tie the game in the bottom of the third inning off an RBI single by Raya Warner. The score would remain 1-1 until Oxford added two runs in the bottom of the fifth, which the additional run ended up being the game-winner.
