While Myrtle Point put up plenty of runs on Saturday, the same can't be said for Oakland. The Bobcats put the hurt on the Oakers with a sharp 17-0 win. Considering the Bobcats have won ten games by more than five runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.

Evin Warner made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out eight over five innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one walk in six consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, three runs, and four RBI. That's the most runs he has posted since back in March.

In other batting news, Logan Knapp was incredible, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with three runs, three RBI, and one stolen base. Jake Sproul was another key player, going 1-for-3 with three RBI, one stolen base, and one run.

Myrtle Point was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .480. That's the best batting average they've posted all season.

The victory (which was Myrtle Point's seventh in a row) raised their record to 19-4. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.4 runs over those games. As for Oakland, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost six of their last eight contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-16 record this season.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Myrtle Point will challenge Waldport at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. As for Oakland, they will square off against Oakridge at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
