North Bend Bulldogs Baseball 6-7 South Umpqua / Days Creek

South Umpqua/Days Creek escaped North Bend with a 7-6 baseball victory in a nail-biting non-league contest at North Bend, Oregon on May 29. The Bulldogs of the Sky-Em League (4A) battled back and forth with their visitors in what proved to be one of the more entertaining games of the spring season. North Bend carried a 13-3 record into the matchup and showed why they've been one of the top programs in the area this year, keeping pace with South Umpqua throughout the contest. The one-run margin suggests both teams had opportunities to seize control, but clutch hitting and timely pitching kept the outcome in doubt until the final out. The loss drops North Bend to 13-4 overall while maintaining their strong 10-2 conference record in Sky-Em League play. With the regular season winding down, the Bulldogs have established themselves as a legitimate contender heading into the postseason. North Bend will look to bounce back from this narrow setback as they prepare for their upcoming league contests and a potential playoff run.
