OAKLAND — Sophomore Cerena Thacker went 4-for-4 and drove in three runs, and the Oakland softball team overcame an early deficit with a mid-innings explosion, fending off Central Linn 10-6 in a nonleague contest Friday.
After Central Linn jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the top of the third innings, the Oakers (2-1 overall) tallied seven runs in the bottom of the third and another three in the bottom of the fourth, which would prove to be more than enough to secure the win.
Teagan Fauver was 3-for-4 with three RBIs and two runs scored for Oakland, while Maddie Delberti had a pair of hits and Gwen Field scored twice. Delberti was also credited for the pitching victory in the circle.
Oakland is scheduled to open Class 2A/1A Special District 4 play Monday at Riddle.
