Derby extended their losing streak to five on Wednesday, dropping them down to 8-11. They lost 17-2 to the Oxford Wolverines. The Red Raiders were not able to make up for their defeat to the Wolverines from their previous meeting back in April of 2025.
Derby saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Jose Frias, who went 1-for-2 with two RBI and one double.
As for Oxford, they are on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-9 record this season. The result was nothing new for Oxford, who have now won seven contests by eight runs or more so far this season.
On Oxford's side, Ryan Webb got the start for Oxford and what a start it was: he struck out nine batters over five innings while giving up just two earned runs off two hits. Those nine strikeouts gave Webb a new career-high.
At the plate, Blake Huston and Jackson Geisweit did most of the damage at the plate: Huston went a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, five RBI, and three runs, while Geisweit got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one home run, three runs, and four RBI. Huston is becoming a predictor of Oxford's success: when he posts at least three hits the team is undefeated (and 7-9 when he doesn't). Cole Cianflone was another key player, going 2-for-4 with two runs and two RBI.
Looking ahead, Derby will square off against Housatonic at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Oxford does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
