Pepsi moves into second place with sweep
By Jason Hink, Douglas County Sports OnlineRoseburg Pepsi's Darren Nelson singled home Joe Emery with the winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning to give the Bottlecaps a 6-5 win and a sweep over the Umpqua Blaze in an Area 4 doubleheader Monday night at Legion Field in Roseburg. Pepsi took game one 6-4 as Josh Graham knocked in a pair of runs and righthander Jared Priestly pitched 5 2/3 innings to notch the victory. The Blaze (3-13, 5-17) jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the nightcap thanks to a two-run triple from Josh Kennedy and a two-run homer off the bat of Dylan Boucher. Pepsi (8-2, 9-3) scored two runs in the fourth inning and added three more in the fifth to tie the game at five. With the victories, the Bottlecaps moved into sole possession of second place behind league leading Sheldon.
