SPRINGFIELD, Ore. --For the second year in a row, the Roseburg Renegades played for the Junior State baseball championship in Division II.

Following a 7-2 semifinal win over North Eugene Saturday, the Renegades took on Dallas in the championship Sunday, falling 3-2 in a close one.

"Rough way to end such a great season," Renegades coaches said on social media. "(We) tip our caps to Dallas."

The Renegades ended up 30-4 over the summer.

"(The) kids competed their butts off all summer. Want to thank all the parents, grandparents, siblings and friends that came out to support these boys all summer. Roseburg always travels well and this summer was no exception. Thanks for all the rides, late night pick-ups, laundry, lunches and the neverending support. Thanks for the opportunity to coach your sons."
