Brandon Dixon, Joe Gardner and Erik Draxton combined on the gem at Coral Seymour Memorial Ballpark.
Dixon, a left-hander who led Orange Coast College in wins (10), innings pitched (11113) and strikeouts (77) while compiling a 3.23 earned-run average, cruised through the first four innings. He struck out three and walked two.
Gardner, a right-hander, followed with three hitless innings. He walked one batter. Right-hander Draxton came on to open the eighth, and escaped a one-out threat to the Oilers' 1-0 lead.
San Francisco's Nick Navaro reached on an error with one out, stole second base and advanced to third on a passed ball. But Draxton induced a ground-out to a drawn-in infield to hold Navaro at third base, and struck out Andrew Laws to end the inning.
The Oilers plated the only run they needed in the second inning, when Anthony Aliotti, fresh off driving in four runs in Wednesday night's 17-7 win over the Seals, singled home P.J. Sequeira.
Peninsula added two runs in the eighth on a bases-loaded walk to Garry Kuykendall and Vince Belnome's RBI ground-out.
The Oilers of the Alaska Baseball League tonight open a three-game home series against the SoCal Running Bears. That's their second opponent in a stretch of nine non-league home games in nine days to start the season.
