Oakman waltzed into their match on Saturday with three straight wins... but they left with four. They came out on top against Tharptown by a score of 7-3. That result was just more of the same for these two, as Oakman also won the last time the pair played back in February of 2020.

The team relied heavily on Journi Randle, who scored two runs and stole two bases while going 3-for-3. Another player making a difference was Izzie Birchfield, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one triple, and one RBI.

Oakman hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now struck out at most four strikeouts in five consecutive games.

Oakman pushed their record up to 4-4 with the victory, which was their fourth straight on the road. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Tharptown, they moved to 6-6 with that loss, which also ended their four-game winning streak.

Coming up, Oakman will be defending their home field for the first time this season when they go up against Gordo at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The contest will give Oakman their first taste of in-conferenceaction this season. As for Tharptown, a feisty cat fight will be fought as the Wildcats take on the Tigers at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday. Red Bay has struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 12.2 runs per game on average), something Tharptown will no doubt try to take advantage of.
