Roseburg Pepsi and Ashland stayed alive in the American Legion A State Tournament with wins in elimination games on Sunday at Clyde Allen Field.
Roseburg advanced to play North Coos in an elimination game at noon today, while Ashland meets unbeaten North Medford at 4 p.m., needing another victory to stay alive.
Josh Davis had a pair of two-run doubles to help the Bottlecaps build an 8-3 lead and Roseburg held on for the win to eliminate the Miners.
The Bottlecaps scored three runs in the first and three more in the fourth, but had to hold on after Grants Pass had two runs in the fifth and two more in the sixth and threatened in the seventh.
Nick Bellenbaum singled to lead off the inning, but was thrown out trying to steal second. Mike Suthann then singled and Seth Aamatti hit into a fielder’s choice. Roseburg reliever Joe Emery got Dylan Armanino to pop out to first base with the tying run in scoring position to end the game.

Ashland had eight hits in the first inning, including singles by Hayden Miller, Nick Hall, Brent Hegdahl, Brady Thomas, Max Anderson and Jake Scarminach, as well as a double by Ian Kendall and Tygerson’s blast to left field.
Kendall, Hall and Thomas each finished the game 3-for-4 and each had a double. Kendall and Hall scored three runs each and Thomas drove in three runs. Max Gordon had two hits for the Pilots.
