But Siuslaw struck back in
the third inning off the bats of
senior Katherine Dodson, who
drove in 2 runs, as well as
freshman Mia Collins and jun-
ior Ariel Rosenbaum. The Lady
Viks scored four runs in the
inning to hold off getting
closed out in five innings.
But in the sixth inning,
North Bend brought home 2
runs to end things early, 15-4.
Fishing
from 3C
each day.
Anglers are still catching a
few rockfish and surfperch
along the jetties and sub-
merged rock piles. Fishing for
rockfish in the bay has been
spotty. The marine fish daily
bag limit for bottom fish
(rockfish) is seven fish and a
separate daily limit for lingcod
(two).
The 7 fish marine bag limit
will remain in place, with
these adjustments for 2017:
Create a sub-bag limit of 6
black rockfish, remove the
sub-bag limit for canary rock-
fish, Add China/quillback/
copper rockfishes to the sub-
bag limit with blue/Deacon
rockfish and change the limit
from 3 to 4.
Finally remove the 10-inch
minimum size for kelp green-
ling. Retention of cabezon is
not allowed until July 1.
Recreational crabbing is
open inside the Coos Bay estu-
ary. Crabbing has been slow in
Coos Bay but crabbers will
need to sort through several
short crab to find keepers.
Recreational harvest of bay
clams remains open along the
entire Oregon coast.
Clamming is excellent dur-
ing low tides near Charleston,
off Cape Arago Highway, and
Clam Island. There are also
good places to dig clams even
on positive low tides in Coos
Bay.
Recreational harvest of
razor clams and mussels is
closed from the entire Oregon
coast due to elevated levels of
domoic acid.
This includes all beaches
and all bays. Before any shell-
fish harvest trip, make sure to
check the Oregon Department
of Agriculture website for any
updates.

six consecutive wins for the
Bruins, creating a three-way tie
for second place as of Friday

at North Bend for a chance to
play spoiler against the
Bulldogs, which needed just
one win to clinch the league
