Oxford Beats Norton....At Softball

Game 3:  Oxford Blues 11 Slammin Seagulls 9
Central Park's Great Lawn
June 25, 2014

Zack Haynes pitched a complete game and broke a tie with a 3-run home run in the 5th as the Blues (2-1) defeated publishing rivals Slammin' Seagulls 11-9.  Haynes, in his first game back since becoming a father, said he would be giving his game ball to his daughter Georgia.

"I'm hoping she might be the Serena Williams of softball," Haynes said.  "Or at the very least not work in publishing."

Blues Legal Council Blake Ratcliff hit a double in the top of the sixth when the Blues collected six insurance runs, all of which were necessary as the Blues defense faltered in the 7th. 

"You were very close to catching that ball," Blues Rookie Taylor Coe observed to me later.
