The Peninsula Oilers split a doubleheader with the host Mat-Su Miners on Sunday, losing the first game 4-1 before rebounding for a 10-1 victory.

The Oilers end their Alaska Baseball League-opening road trip with a 4-5 record. Not counting a late game between the Fairbanks Goldpanners and Anchorage Bucs, the Oilers trail the Bucs by three games in the American League.

After taking today off, the Oilers open a five-game homestand with a 7 p.m. Tuesday game against the Chugiak-Eagle River Chinooks at Coral Seymour Memorial Park in Kenai.

The Oilers capped off the road trip by scoring the 10 runs on just six hits. The Miners made four errors in the game, as the first seven runs the Oilers put on the board were not earned.

Kyle Serrano took the loss for the Miners, going 4 1-3 innings and yielding four unearned runs on just one hit. Serrano walked three and struck out six. Hunter Rodriguez came on for Serrano and recorded just one out while giving up three unearned runs and three walks.

The six runs the Oilers put on the board in the fifth inning would be more than enough for Tyler Painton.

Painton pitched five innings to pick up the win, allowing seven hits and just one run while walking three and striking out two.

Nolan Sheridan finished up with two scoreless innings.

AJ Hernandez had three RBIs for the Oilers, while Alex Rubanowitz scored three times and Jordan Sanford scored twice.

For Mat-Su, Paul Panaccione finished 3 for 4.

In the first game, Miners starter and winner Tyler Stubblefield gave up a run in the first inning, but then shut the Oilers down the rest of the way.

Dallas DeVrieze took the loss for the Oilers. He gave up seven hits and four runs in five innings, walking two and striking out two.

Jake Sandlin was 2 for 3 with a run for the Oilers, while Mylz Jones was 2 for 3 with an RBI.

For the Miners, Matt Decker was 2 for 2 with two runs and an RBI.
