Senior B.J. Wallace (1-0) earned the win.
Heath Sevy had two RBIs for the Raiders (0-1).
In an earlier game, the Red Devils shut out rival Fayetteville 7-0 to open the season. Junior Tyler Zimm tossed a no-hitter for Oak Hill, fanning 11 and walking only one.
“He pitched a real good game,” Oak Hill coach Chris Walls said of Zimm.
Walls said Zimm was “the only pitcher I’ve got who’s game ready. He had a 75-pitch limit and pitched 72. Of course, I wouldn’t have taken him out.”
