BULLDOGS
WIN TWO: North Bend lost its league opener to Marist Catholic 14-9 but bounced back with a doubleheader sweep over Junction City.

North Bend beat Junction City 11-7 and 14-13 in nine innings to finish the week on a strong note.

In the nightcap, North Bend rallied from a 7-0 deficit in the first inning to beat Junction City.

Veloz had two home runs and drove in four runs, Spalding clubbed three doubles and also had four RBIs, and McClintock and Andrade each scored three runs.
Veloz’s second homer came with two outs and provided the winning run.
“After the first inning, I was so proud of the girls not giving up and staying positive,” Olson said.
