Mavericks trounce Phoenix TALENT � The Medford Mavericks used a perfect combination of pitching and hitting to sweep a doubleheader from Phoenix in American Legion A baseball Sunday. The Mavericks (6-6, 4-2 league) spanked 26 hits in the double dip and allowed only one big inning to Phoenix in earning the sweep. Medford broke the first game open with a six-run second inning as the Mavericks notched seven of their 12 hits in the stanza. Dustin Butler singled to lead off the frame, followed by a Tyler Engle single and a two-run triple by Shad Thomas. J.C. Rowley kept the momentum up with a single and advanced to second when Chris Brewington drew a walk. After a fielder�s choice advanced both runners, Brett Timmerman laced an RBI single and Rob Folsom added a two-run single. Devin Zupan capped the inning with an RBI single. Thomas went 4-for-4 with two RBIs and two stolen bases to pace the Mavericks in Game 1, while Folsom was 3-for-4 with two rbis and 2 stolen bases. Rowley chipped in two hits, one RBI and two stolen bases. In the second game, Phoenix scored five runs in the fifth but that wasn�t enough to offset eight errors and 14 Maverick hits. Joe Morris paced Medford by going 4-for-5 with two rbis and a stolen base, while Timmerman and Russ Vandell each added three hits.
