The Sarnia Braves posted their fifth straight victory with a 10-1 triumph over the Oakridge Tin Caps Monday night

Sarnia scattered 12 hits in the victory, with all nine starters reaching base at least once. Lance Hart was the only starter without a hit, but he walked three times in four plate appearances, and ended up scoring twice.

Second basemen Josh Taylor reached base four times with two hits, two walks and two RBI's. Alex McLean and Vince Caschera also had two hits and both drove in a pair of runs.
