Majors

BR Dodgers vs SF Angels

With the Dodgers 8-3 win over the Sierra Foothill Angels on Saturday they will need only one more win to mathematically clinch the final Tournament of Champion's bid. Bear River was led by starting pitcher Harry Zea who pitched three innings while giving up three unearned runs. Dillon Scott broke open the game in the fifth with a two RBI single to break the 3-3 tie.

Josiah Cregar relieved Zea in the fourth where he proceeded to give up one unearned run and Bradley Dzioba closed out the game giving up none.

In addition to Scott's single the Dodgers were led at the plate by Cregar who went one for two, Dzioba one for two, Jaden Gravatt one for two.

The Dodgers will need to defeat either the Sierra Foothill Giants on Tuesday or the Nevada City Angels on Thursday to seal the deal.
