Jefferson County’s 50/70 (Intermediate, ages 11-13) baseball team, managed by Phil Fine, beat South Central 11-1 in the championship final of the district tournament last Tuesday to qualify for the state tournament, which got underway Saturday in Gold Hill, near Medford. Jefferson County lost its first game at the state tourney, falling 13-1 on Saturday to District 2’s Portland, Powell and Taborvilla team. The District 5 champs came back on Sunday to win 15-5 over District 8’s Central Point during the three-team, double-elimination tournament.
