UMPQUA BASIN – While most of the state has gotten into league play, the 4A classification is just getting started. The Sutherlin baseball and softball teams began Sky-Em League play on Monday. The Bulldogs squared off against Junction City.

The baseball team hosted the Tigers and suffered a 9-2 loss, snapping a five game winning streak. Sutherlin had been putting up big numbers during its run, averaging nearly 10 runs per game, but the Tigers shut down Sutherlin’s offense. It was the third time this year that the Bulldogs had lost when failing to score more than two runs.

The Sutherlin softball team was on the road and saw its woes continue as the team lost 16-9 against Junction City. It was the fifth straight defeat for the Lady Bulldogs.

The Sutherlin teams are back to action on Wednesday with games against Cottage Grove.
