OXFORD HILLS 6, LEWISTON 0: Cameron Mayhan gave up a hit to the Blue Devils’ first batter of the game then didn’t allow another in the Vikings’ (10-1) Class A North win in Lewiston.
Mayhan finished with seven strikeouts and seven walks.

“Oxford played great too, made some big catches in the outfield to keep us with only one hit today against Cameron.”
