Newport was more determined than ever to leave Keizer Stadium this year, with a Championship Trophy, one that eluded them last year. Getting to the Championship game was no easy feat for the 3rd ranked Cubs. With a 22-5 record,  Newport battled through 4A's cream of the crop by impressively defeating 4th ranked Phoenix 8-1, 5th ranked Lagrande 7-1 and #1 ranked North Bend 5-4. 

Burns builds an early 9-1 lead, but must stave off a furious Eagle rally to win its second straight 3A title, 11-8, at Keizer's Volcanoes Stadium. 3A state POY Tommy Ghost Dog goes the distance for the Hilanders, throwing 148 pitches for the complete game victory.

Five run seventh inning earns Lions second in Pac West

Stayton – Jefferson came from behind with 5 runs in the seventh inning to take a 7-3 win over Regis Friday, and claim the second seed to the 3A playoffs from the Pac West Conference. The loss sends the Rams (12-11) to Warrenton (13-2), the Lewis & Clark Conference champions, on Tuesday, as the Pac West’s third seed.

Jefferson (9-10) finished fourth in the final Pac West standings, but used a 7-0 win in Harrisburg on Thursday to eliminate the Eagles, and set up their shot at the Rams for the second seed. The win gives Jefferson a home game Tuesday against fourth ranked Burns (17-10).
