The Vikings broke open a tied game with six runs in the bottom of the sixth to win the opener, 11-7.

The Bruins pounded 10 hits in the second game to win 13-2 in five innings.

Siuslaw, 7-12 overall, is now 4-7 in league, a game ahead of Douglas, which was swept Friday at South Umpqua, 7-2 and 8-4.

Junior Michael Larson picked up the victory in Game 1 Friday against Brookings-Harbor, combining with senior Scott Gordon and freshman Gabe Simington on a 5-hitter.
