Hull and Mazza were the greatest offenders on the day, each hitting multiple balls out while combining for 11 hits in 20 at bats. Hull surprised everyone by crushing a towering home run down the left-field line to break open the first game and added line drive home runs to left-center field in his next at bat and again in the second game. Mazza homered once in each contest.

Hull was 3-for-5 with two homers, a double, and eight RBI's in the first half of the doubleheader. In game two, Hull was 3-for-6 with a solo home run. Mazza was also 3-for-5 in the opener before finishing the day with a 2-for-4 effort.

Entering Saturday's twinbill the Oaks had totaled 25 home runs on the season, but once Hull clubbed his first round-tripper others followed suit. In the end, Menlo finished the day having hit almost a quarter of its season total for long balls in one day.

Menlo took advantage of a pair of Whitman gifts to take its first lead of the day in the second inning of the opener. Shane Parsons walked and Sam Dodge reached on an error to put a pair on base. Freshman Brad Binder smoked a line drive the other way for a double that plated Parsons for a 1-0 Oaks lead. It was doubled one batter latter when senior Richie Pombo grounded out to short, enabling Dodge to score from third base.

The Oaks took control for good in the fifth inning thanks to its initial power burst.

Binder drew a leadoff walk and scored all the way from first base on a Kyle Wilkerson double to over center fielder Jason Sease's head. Hull followed with his first home run of the day to increase Menlo's cushion to 5-1.

Menlo turned the game into a laugher in the sixth inning, though. Sam Dodge followed a Michael Brandi leadoff walk with a homer to left-center. Pombo and Wilkerson each walked with one out to set the stage for Hull's second blast, a line drive that snuck over the fence near where Dodge's left the yard. Mazza added a two-out home run of his own for the Oaks third of the inning, putting Menlo on top 11-1.

Menlo scored three times in the seventh and another three in the eighth, thanks in large part to walks. Brandi and Pombo each drew a walk and also scored on a walk in the seventh before Mazza singled Wilkerson home. In the eighth, Hull drove in a pair with a double before Wilkerson scored on another bases-loaded walk.

Senior Brian Phillips was the winning pitcher, allowing one run on five hits over five innings of work. Phillips struck out two and walked as many. Sean Sweeney pitched a scoreless inning of relief, Ray Lozada was touched for one run over two innings, and Kaimi Haina allowed four runs in the ninth before closing it out.

The nightcap was much the same for both teams, though the Oaks jumped to a comfortable lead within the first two innings.

Mazza smacked a two-run homer down the left-field line after C.J. Dailey singled in the first inning. Brandi followed with a single and scored on a Coleman Cox two-strike base hit to right field for a 3-0 lead.

The Oaks added a pair in the second inning when Hull and Dailey singled and eventually scored on bases-loaded walks. It was 5-0 through two.

C.J. Dailey singled again in the fourth and scored on a Brandi home run this time. Binder, who reached on a single to left field, scored on another Cox base hit to make it 8-1 after four.

Hull hit a solo shot in the fifth and Ty Finley drove a three-run blast the opposite way over the right-field wall for a 12-3 cushion in the sixth inning.

Adam Koontz was the winning pitcher, allowing one run on the Missionaries lone home run of the day while striking out seven. Koontz allowed four hits and two walks in earning his eighth win of the season, good for the second-highest number in Oaks single-season history. Travis Anders, Chris Cleary, and Nick Vandever were all solid out of the bullpen.

Menlo is now 21-14 on the season and plays its home finale doubleheader on Sunday at 11:30 a.m. versus Whitman (4-30). The Oaks are trying to add a series of games to their schedule for next week.
