Evan Martin

CORVALLIS — Evan Martin drove-in three runs, including a pair in a critical three-run seventh inning, to help the Roseburg Dr. Stewart’s beat the Mid-Coast Dungies 6-3 to begin play in the Mickey Riley Star Spangled Tournament on Thursday.

Martin plated the first run of the game with a two-out single in the third. Docs catcher Knox Hubbard followed with a two-run double to give the Stewies a 3-0.

Mid-Coast (2-11) rallied for two runs off Docs’ starter Kade Johnson in the home half of the third. The Dungies tied the game in the fifth inning with an unearned run off a miss-throw back to the mound.

Roseburg (8-8-1) loaded the bases to begin the seventh inning against Dungies’ reliever Caleb Malloy. Mid-Coast went to reliever Baron Delameter, who promptly recorded back-to-back outs and nearly pitched the Dungies out of the jam.

The Docs retook the lead on a bases loaded walk to Carson Dunn and Martin gave the Stewies some breathing room with a two-run single to centerfield.

Martin finished the game going 2-for-4 for the Docs. Hubbard was 1-for-3 with two RBI.

Parker Burke came out of the bullpen to relieve Johnson in the fifth inning and picked up the win. He allowed one hit over 2 1/3 innings and started a double-play to record the final two outs of the game.

Dr. Stewart’s will continue play in the tournament on Friday against Boss Baseball from Bend. Boss beat the Dallas Dirtbags 8-7 in the first game of the tourney.

First pitch between the Docs and Boss is slated for 4 p.m. from Hansen Stadium at Taylor Field.
