EAGLE POINT -- The Crater Comets used an offensive explosion and consistent pitching to sweep Eagle Point on Saturday.

The Comets scored eight runs in the fifth inning of their 13-5 Game 1 win and settled for a balanced offensive attack in the nightcap, 6-1.

"I compliment these kids for rebounding from last Saturday's loss to North," Crater coach Chuck Dominiak said. "In games in the past, we have left guys on base."

Not Saturday. In the opener, the Eagles led 3-2 going into the top of the fifth inning before the Comet offense struck.

Casey Campbell and P.J. Pardee each had two hits in an eight-run inning that set the tone for the rest of the day.

Campbell, who also pitched well enough for the win, went 3-for-4 in the first game while shortstop Craig knight went 4-for-4 with two RBIs for Crater.

"Hitting is a contagious thing," Dominiak said. "One guy hits and another says `I can do that too."'

In the late game, Crater scored at least one run in four different innings and Comet pitcher Jake Stickley allowed just five hits and one run in seven innings.

"He's had some real clutch wins for us," Dominiak said, "and he came through again today."

Brent Foster went 3-for-4 with an RBI for Crater, which improved to 9-3 and remained in a second-place SOC tie with South Medford.

NORTH MEDFORD 10-12, KLAMATH UNION 1-1 -- At Klamath Falls, North Medford received a pair of three-hit pitching performances from K.C. Rumrey and Robert Hutson to run its winning streak to 10 straight, including eight in the SOC.

In the opener, Rumrey (5-2) struck out 12 and slammed his fourth home run of the season with a two-run shot in the fourth inning.

It was the fourth straight game Rumrey has registered double digits in strikeouts. The senior right-hander has 83 strikeouts in 53 innings.

Rumrey had four hits and was walked five times -- three intentionally -- in the twin bill.

Jim Pickrel went 3-for-4 with two RBIs to spark the Black Tornado's 12-hit attack in the first game. Pickrel helped North get off to a quick start with a two-out, two-run double during a four-run first inning.

In the second game, Hutson gave up one run on two hits in the first inning, then blanked KU on one hit the rest of the way. Hutson struck out nine to run his record to 6-1.

Lane Forsloff had a hand in North's first two runs. He opened the fourth inning with a double, moved to third on a sacrifice bunt and scored on Jared Pagnini's infield out to tie the score at 1-all. The senior catcher led off the sixth with his first home run of the season to put North ahead for good at 2-1.

Nate Mayben had a hot bat for the Black Tornado (16-5, 10-2 SOC) in Game 2 with four hits and three RBIs.

Bealer struck out six and threw a three-hitter in the nightcap. Rutter hit a two-run homer in a five-run sixth as the Tornado (18-2, 12-0 SOC) blew things open. Megumi Hackett went 3-for-3 with a trio of steals.

SOUTH MEDFORD 12-6, MAZAMA 9-4 -- At Klamath Falls, South Medford received late-inning heroics in the eighth innings of both contests to pull out the sweep over Mazama.

After the Vikings had rallied for three runs to tie the game in the bottom of the seventh in Game 1, South responded with three runs of its own to pull out the win.

In Game 2, the Panthers scored three times in the seventh to force extra innings and finished things off with a two-run eighth.

Brooke Harring led South on the day with four hits and three RBIs, while Deidra Hammerschmith chipped in with two hits, including a home run and three RBIs.

Crater erased a 4-1 deficit and took a 6-4 advantage, parlaying four hits, a walk and an error. Natalia Smith's RBI triple to left field capped the uprising.
