Roseburg teams move on to Round 2 ROSEBURG - Junior Brooke Charles pitched a five-hit shutout as Roseburg defeated Gresham 1-0 Tuesday to advance to the second round of the Class 4A state softball playoffs. The Indians (18-6) will play at Three Rivers League champion Rex Putnam today. Roseburg scored the game's only run in the fourth inning. Laura Mitchell got the winning rally started with a one-out single to right. After Mitchell stole second, senior first baseman Shannon Burmeister delivered an RBI double. "Both teams when they hit the ball, they hit it hard right at people," said Roseburg coach Craig Munion. "Both teams made the plays. We got out of two or three jams." Gresham twice had runners at second with no outs but couldn't capitalize.
