The Jackets trailed Bob Jones 10-3 after the visitors’ fourth. Tate Adams’ three-run homer highlighted a four-run bottom of the inning that got Oxford close, then the Jackets scored four more in the sixth to take the lead. Carson Lindsey’s two-run double pulled the Jackets with a run and Brody Syer’s RBI single put them ahead.
Brantley Bargerhuff got the final out with the bases loaded in the seventh to preserve the victory and then pitched shutout baseball into the fifth of the nightcap.
