A Veteran Team’s Comeback

Earlier this season, these two teams crossed paths in the first part of April, with the Tigers triumphing. “When we met earlier, Hernando won the first game 8-6 at Oxford by scoring most of their runs in the seventh,” recalled Cade Hoggard, the head coach of Oxford Chargers.

No stranger to the high stakes of the North Half, Oxford is a team forged by experience. “Our guys have been in this spot last season, facing Lewisburg in the North Half,” said Hoggard. He adds, “We are a different team now than when we played last time. This week we have prepared every day to play Oxford High baseball.”

The series will kick off on Friday at 7 p.m. in Hernando. Oxford will host the second match on Saturday and if required, a third game will take place on Monday. “On Friday we will head to Hernando to face them in an environment in which their fans and students will be ready for a great game.” anticipates Hoggard.
