Six extra-base hits highlighted a 10-hit attack that helped Oneonta to a 9-2 New York-Penn League victory at Auburn on Tuesday that marked the Tigers' season-high fourth straight win.
Rawley Bishop, Alexis Espinoza, Wade Gaynor and Jimmy Gulliver had two hits apiece for the O-Tigers, who've outscored their past four opponents by a combined score of 27-7.
Stedler Division-leading Oneonta (14-8) plays the second of its three-game series at Auburn at 7:05 tonight. Following Thursday's game at Auburn, the Tigers travel to Mahoning Valley for three games before returning home Monday to start a three-game set against Batavia.
After the Doubledays' Sean Ochinko doubled home a run in the first inning off winning pitcher Gary Perinar (2-2), Oneonta tied the score in the top of the second.
Espinoza led off with a triple to center against losing pitcher Dave Sever and scored on Gaynor's sacrifice fly to right.
The Tigers then struck for three runs in the third.
Michael Rockett led off with a strikeout but reached on a wild pitch. Bishop's double to right sent Rockett to third and both scored on Espinoza's single to left. Espinoza took second on a fielding error by left fielder Markus Brisker and scored on Gaynor's double to left to make it 4-1.
Michael Torreabla relieved Perinar in the sixth, when Auburn scored to make it 4-2.
Welinton Ramirez doubled to left, went to third on Yan Gomes' groundout and scored on Ochinko's grounder to short.
Then the Tigers tacked on four unearned runs in the eighth off Auburn's Steven Turnbull.
Gaynor struck out to start the inning before Eric Roof doubled to right. After Chris Sedon's groundout sent Roof to third, Gulliver walked. Jamie Johnson followed with a grounder to shortstop Dave Nolan, who mishandled it for an error that allowed Roof to score and sent Gulliver to third.
Rockett's single scored Gulliver and moved Johnson to third, and Bishop followed with a two-run triple to center to make it 8-2.
In the ninth, Gaynor doubled to center with one out and scored Gulliver's two-out single to right to cap the scoring.
Perinar worked five innings, allowing one run on four hits. He struck out five and walked two in lowering his ERA to 6.19.
Torreabla allowed one run on one hit over two innings, striking out two and walking one.
Mike LaLuna shut out the Doubledays over the final two innings. He allowed one hit, walked one and struck out one.
