Published 9:36 am Monday, June 16, 2025 It ended in a tie, but that tie felt pretty good to the Hops who dropped the first three of their six game series with Eugene before winning the last three and evening things with their rival to the south.

After relinquishing five runs in the top half of the second, Hillsboro responded with a run of their own in the bottom of the second, four more runs in the fourth, and two final runs in the sixth en route to a second straight win over the visiting Ems.
