Undefeated North Medford got some offensive pop from Darren Bruhns, complete games from pitchers Shea Bedortha and Logan Odom and a stellar defensive performance in a nonconference home doubleheader sweep of Mazama Thursday.

The Black Tornado defeated the Vikings 11-1 in six innings and 8-1 to improve to 6-0 on the season.

Bruhns, a senior catcher, went 5-for-7 and scored five runs in the twin bill.

"Darren is our leadoff guy," North Medford coach Brett Wolfe said. "He's got a good knowledge of the strike zone and he can hit with power."

Seniors Bedortha and Odom were both effective from the mound. Bedortha allowed four hits in the opener with seven strikeouts and five walks on 88 pitches.

"Shea has been working out a couple of kinks," said Wolfe. "After the first inning, he got his ball down in the zone. He was able to locate his change-up and curveball behind in the count."

Odom struck out 10, walked three and gave up five hits.

"(Odom) is a big kid who's finally learning how to pitch," said Wolfe. "He put in a lot of time this winter."

In Game 1, Bruhns and Kody Stevens collected two hits each, and Andrew Jones provided a base-clearing, three-run double in the Black Tornado six-run fifth inning.

Bruhns added three more hits in the nightcap, while Jones and Aaron Marlia chipped in two hits apiece. Jones' two-out, run-scoring double in the sixth gave the North junior No. 3 hitter 13 RBIs on the season.

The Black Tornado only made one error on the day and turned three double plays to give them eight for the year.

A number of North players were on the North Medford Mavericks team that won the American Legion A state title last summer and was runner-up at the Northwest Regional.

"The kids are pretty relaxed and loose," said Wolfe. "They played all those summer games together and they're educated on how to play the game. When you execute and limit teams to three outs, you have a good chance to win ball games."

Jordan Lewis added a two-run single in the bottom of the sixth to give the Pirates a 6-3 cushion but saved his biggest moment for the bottom half of the inning. With the bases loaded and two out, Lewis was able to strike out KU's Jake Waardenburg to end the threat.

In the nightcap, Robinson was 3-for-4 and tossed a four-hitter for Phoenix (4-0).
