Woodland Regional came tearing into Friday's contest with six straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 7.8 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They came out on top against the Oxford Wolverines by a score of 8-5. For the Hawks, this counts as revenge for the 4-2 win the Wolverines walked away with the last time they faced one another back in May of 2024.

Jason Beaudry was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over 5.2 innings while giving up just two earned (and three unearned) runs off five hits. Beaudry was also big at the plate, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and one double. That's the most runs he has posted since back in June of 2024.

In other batting news, Erik Pulkkinen was incredible, going 2-for-4 with one home run, two stolen bases, and four RBI. That's the most stolen bases he has posted since back in April. Another player making a difference was Jack Schwenger, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and one double.

Woodland Regional's victory was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 14-11. The road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.8 runs over those games. As for Oxford, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost four of their last five games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 8-8 record this season.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Woodland Regional will welcome Notre Dame at 3:45 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Oxford, they will look to defend their home field on Tuesday against Torrington at 3:45 p.m.
