Camden, NJ - One night after being no-hit in the finale of a doubleheader, the Somerset Patriots put up 15 hits and made a Chris Oxspring start stand en route to a 7-3 win over the Camden Riversharks on Saturday at Campbell's Field.

Oxspring (5-9) turned in 7.0 innings of two-run baseball, scattering seven hits and stranding six Sharks for the victory. It was Oxspring's 11thquality start this season but just his 3 rd win in those starts.

The Patriots put up plenty of cushion for the right-hander tonight, getting a hit from Joe Holden to start the game. Holden would score on a throwing error from Danny Richar, giving Somerset a 1-0 lead against Sean Jarrett. Jarrett (1-2) - making just his third career start - gave up back-to-back run-scoring singles from Josh Pressley and Matt Hagen in the 3rd and yielded a two-out RBI from Fernando Cortez in the 6th. Jarrett went 6.0 innings, allowing four runs, three earned, surrendering 11 hits.

Four of the hits and three RBIs belonged to Hagen as six of the seven Somerset runs scored with two outs. Somerset added three in the 9th against Fernando Hernandez who had not allowed a run in 12 appearances for Camden.

Somerset (23-36, 49-73) and Camden (33-26, 56-66) square off on Sunday night in the potential season finale with Derell McCall (5-7, 4.29) taking the bump for the Patriots against Zac Cline (0-0, 2.46). Coverage begins at 5:30 pm on 1450 WCTC-AM and www.wctcam.com.

NOTES: Pressley notched three hits...Jeff Kennard tossed a scoreless 8th.
