The Springfield Timbers blew open a one-run ball game with a four-run sixth inning and held on to defeat the Roseburg Dr. Stewart’s 8-3 on Sunday at Champion Car Wash Field in the final game from the Father’s Day Tournament for both teams.
Back-to-back doubles by Thomas Touchette and Jayden Casarez got the scoring started for Springfield (7-5) in the sixth. A sacrifice fly and an error helped tack on a few more insurance runs for the Timbers.
Dillon Springer closed the game for Springfield with a perfect seventh inning on the mound in relief of starter Ewan Hadley, who allowed just three runs on three hits over six innings.
Docs (4-5) starter Logan Klopfenstein gave up four runs in 3 ⅔ innings of work.
Roseburg took a 1-0 lead in the first on back-to-back singles by Kade Johnson and Dawson Gillespie. The Docs added two runs in the third, but were held hitless over the final four frames.
