OXFORD>>It took a little longer than usual for the Oxford bats to get going, but once they did, the Hornets started putting crooked numbers up on the board. By game’s end, the Hornets (21-3) pounded out 11 hits on the way to a 6-3 win over Greencastle-Antrim, the third-place finisher from District 3, in the opening round of the PIAA Class 5A tournament.

With the win, Oxford advances to Thursday’s quarterfinal round, where they will face District 1 champ Abington Heights, who move on following a first round forfeit from Franklin Towne Charter, the District 12 runner-up.

“We scouted them a few times, most recently in their third place game at Solanco,” said Oxford coach Josh Socash. “We knew the kind of pitcher we’d face. The challenge was to not try to drive the ball and pop it up, but to go for line-drives and hard ground balls. Most of our batting practices ended with us just going through the order and trying to string together hits.”

With the score tied 1-1 in the middle of the fifth, the hit parade finally came. Natalia Donofrio (2 for 3, 2B, 2R) got things going, beating out a lead-off bunt. Then, with two outs, McKenna Frank, Molly Friel and Cece Figueroa all singled to give the Hornets a 4-1 lead.

“I haven’t really been hitting all that well this season,” said Donofrio. “So I’m really happy that it’s starting to come for me in the post season. With the way we’re hitting and playing defense, we’re really confident moving forward.”

The Hornets tacked on another pair of runs in the bottom half of the sixth on a single from Sydney Kargulewicz, a double from Donofrio, and a perfectly executed sacrifice squeeze bunt from Emily Basilio (2 for 3, R, RBI).

“We usually start hitting much earlier in the game than we did today,” said Figueroa. “This was some of the best defense we’ve played all year. I’m totally confident that the girls behind me are going to make the plays we need. And we really needed it while waiting for the hitting to get going and give us a little cushion.”

Donofrio and her fellow outfielders—Kargulewicz and Basilio—ran down just about everything that came near them, while the infield matched the effort.

“Our defense was absolutely phenomenal today,” said Socash. “So many great diving plays, grabbing balls off other gloves, throws from the knees, whatever they needed to do, they did it. It was incredible. Got us out of a few jams.”

Figueroa earned the win in the circle, allowing three runs on six hits. She struck out three and walked three.

“I haven’t walked a lot of hitters this year,” said Figueroa. “So having the defense come up with so many big plays after I walked a few today was huge.”

After just under four years of business, a New Oxford bar and grill closed its doors on Friday.

The Bourbon Mill, owned by Chuck Messersmith, closed on Dec. 22, 2023, after opening in January 2020.

"It is bittersweet to type these words, yet," said the post on the Facebook page for the business announcing the closure. "We all have pieces we will take, and leave behind, with our time and memories created at Bourbon Mill."

Following a prompt from the page for customers to share photos from their time at Bourbon Mill, dozens posted photos of themselves and others at the location.

The business held a night of line dancing to close out its run, according to a Facebook post.

It's unclear of the future of the building, which was once the Old Mill, a longtime New Oxford business. The post shares that, "a new owner, whom is yet to be determined, will someday begin their chapter 1."

Messersmith recently opened a new venture, "Simmers soups," at the North Hanover mall.

OXFORD, Pa. - A raging blaze spread through a number of business and apartments last week, displacing at least 90 residents as it burned an entire city block in a Chester County town.

Fire crews responded to the 4-alarm fire on the 20th block of South 3rd Street in downtown Oxford around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Several buildings, including a warehouse, storefronts and apartments, went up in flames as smoke billowed from windows and roofs. Borough officials told FOX 29 the buildings housed businesses on the bottom floors and the top floors were all apartments.

Hours after the fire broke out, firefighters were still seen hitting hotspots while law enforcement blocked off the area to traffic for several blocks.

The street was reopened over the weekend after being shut down for several days as crews cleaned up the area, and officials conducted an investigation. The cause of the fire has been ruled "undetermined," according to the Chester County Fire Marshal.

Dozens displaced as fire rips through apartments, businesses in Chester County

Several buildings, including a warehouse, storefronts and apartments, went up in flames as smoke billowed from windows and roofs.

FOX 29's Hank Flynn was at the scene last week when a second floor deck collapsed to the ground.

"We looked out on our porch and we seen the whole sky lighting up and so me and my dad walked down by the post office and we had a front view of it," lifelong resident, Emily Rosen, said.

Rosen said she was sad to see such historic buildings go up in flames. "It’s devastating because this is our quaint, little town and everything is set a certain way and it’s always been that way and you always hope it’ll stay that way."

Officials say 25 families, totaling 90 people were displaced after the fire burned through at least 31 units.

A raging blaze spread through a number of business and apartments overnight, displacing at least 90 residents in Oxford.

Schools in Oxford shut down to operate as shelters for the day as some roads remain closed in the area. The shelter was to be open overnight into Friday morning.

The Red Cross was on hand to assist and reported 39 people seeking shelter at Penn's Grove Middle School. Going forward, the Chester County Office of Emergency Management and Oxford Neighboring Services Center will work with displaced residents to find permanent homes.

No injuries have been reported, and the cause of the fire is not yet known.

2023 Offensive Outlook: We have a lot of new guys on the offensive side of the ball to break in. We are excited about the speed we have in the backfield and there is a lot of competition between eight guys up front for the five OL spots. We will go as far as our OL takes us. Aiden Kane, our junior QB, also has big shoes to fill replacing Dustin Long who was first-team all-league last year. He has shown a great work ethic all off-season.

2023 Defensive Outlook: We need our young guys to step up quickly. We are really young on both sides of the ball and made sure we threw them in the fire as much as possible all summer to try to speed up the learning curve. We have an experienced senior leader at every level of the defense (Zack Richardson, CJ Boyer, Avion Rochester, and Conner Mallon) and we need them to really take control of their groups.

2023 Special Teams Outlook: Will Smith is one of the best kickers in the Ches-Mont and we expect him to give us a great advantage every game. He is a scholarship kid.
