South Medford hadn't done well against Roseburg recently (they were 2-7 in their previous nine matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Saturday. The Panthers never let the Indians get on the board and left with a 7-0 victory. The result was nothing new for the Panthers, who have now won four contests by seven runs or more so far this season.

Not much got past Tristan Mallari, who gave up just four hits and racked up nine Ks to keep Roseburg off the board. Mallari has been consistent recently: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in three consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Grady McQuillan was incredible, going 1-for-2 with one home run and two runs. That home run marked the first that he launched this season. Another player making a difference was Keegan Painter, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-4.

South Medford is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 5-4 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.6 runs on average over those games. As for Roseburg, their defeat dropped their record down to 2-2.

South Medford will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Indians: the pair will be back at it again later today.
