5A

No. 1 Corvallis 3, No. 16 Canby 1 -- A pitcher's duel went the way of the top-seeded Spartans. Jack Brauckmiller was stout on the mound for Canby, but the duo of Andrew Street and Ben Weiss was just a little better. Hank McMahon and Logan Lassiter each drove in a run for the victors.

No. 8 Thurston 4, No. 9 Bend 2 – Grady Saunders went the distance on the mound, with 10 Ks, and Levi Woodman went 2-2 with a homer and two RBIs to help the Colts double up Bend.

No. 12 West Albany 5, No. 5 Crater 2 --

No. 10 Ridgeview 6, No. 7 La Salle Prep 3 -- Ryden Nakamura had a big day on the mound and at the plate in the Ravens' win.

No. 2 Hood River Valley 8, No. 15 Crescent Valley / Kings Valley Charter 3 – A four-run third inning helped HRV pull away for the win. Senior Bodie Stuben was incredible in relief for the Eagles, who got five RBIs combined from Kingston McAdam and Elliot Dillingham and great OF play from Davin Snyder and Nick Tuttle.

No. 11 Phoenix 12, No. 6 Gladstone 7 -- Phoenix tallied 15 hits to take down the Gladiators on the road. Lucca Petrone led the way for the victorious Pirates with three hits and three RBIs. Nolan Marcoe matched Petrone's offense in defeat for Gladstone.

No. 7 Stayton 15, No. 10 La Grande 14 -- Stayton gave up 10 second-inning runs to La Grande, but found a way to win. The Eagles benefited from nine walks and five Tiger errors. Ryder Thiessen had two hits and three RBIs for the home team. Maddox Basl threw 5.1 innings in relief, yielding just one earned run.

No. 2 Scappoose 11, No. 15 North Bend 2 – Scappoose overwhelmed North Bend with an 11-hit attack. Levi Lozada had two hits for the perennial power, including a three-run shot in the bottom of the sixth that put the game out of reach. Will Kessi earned the win on the mound.
