Third baseman Max Muncy knocked 2 homeruns and had 6 RBI as the Oyster Bay
Tomcats crushed the reeling Oklahoma Missilemen 15 to 3.

softballs up there for him to hit, the Oklahoma fans were serving up some
hardball barbs when he entered the batter's box. But he just used it as fuel
for the fire. He cleared the fences for a two-run home run in the 1st
inning, blasted a two-run home run in the 7th inning and doubled plating two
runs in the 9th inning. Oyster Bay bats were hot in the 1st inning which saw
them score 6 runs on 6 hits and the 9th inning when they had 6 runs on 5
hits. Overall Oyster Bay out-hit Oklahoma 15 to 3.
Garrett Crochet(3-3) went 5 innings allowing 2 runs for the win. Daniel Lynch
recorded his 3rd save. Sonny Gray(2-5) was charged with the loss. He
surrendered 6 hits and no walks in 1/3 of an inning.
'I had a big day, but there's a lot of credit to go around' Muncy said. 'We
played well together as a team.'
