The Dodgers weren't done yet.
They came into PacWest Majors in-house championship play with one loss Saturday and were playing an Orioles team that was undefeated, meaning the Dodgers had to beat the Orioles twice to take the championship.
But the Dodgers forced a second game by outslugging the Orioles, 12-9.
The winner will advance to play in the District 7 Tournament of Champions starting with a 6 p.m. game against West Seattle at the Normandy Park City Hall fields Friday.
Winners games take place at 12 p.m. and 3 p.m. Sunday, June 16 and the T.O.C. championship is scheduled for 6 p.m. Thursday, June 20.
But for the Dodgers, their first hurdle came in the first PacWest final this last Saturday.
The Orioles opened the scoring with two runs in the bottom of the first with the help of a leadoff double by Timmy Brodigan, then the Dodgers got one back in the top of the second as Mark McClean singled, went to third on a Will Roberson double and scored on a wild pitch.
Brodigan doubled and scored on a single by Noah Gordon for the Orioles in the bottom of the inning, with further runs stopped when Adrian Brown stepped on home plate while hitting an apparent double.
The Dodgers took advantage by rallying for four runs in the top of the third for a 5-3 lead.
Josh Enciso launched a three-run home run way down the right-field line to cap it off and Trenton Brown contributing an RBI double and John Kemp hitting a single.
The Orioles scored one in the bottom of the third to close the gap back to 5-4, but the Dodgers scored five in the top of the fourth to break the game open.
Ethan Weets tripled and scored on a Brown single to start it off, then Brown went to second on a wild pitch and scored on a Kemp single. Two errors factored into the final three runs of the rally.
Brodigan singled and scored on a double by Nicolas Joyal in the bottom of the fourth and the Dodgers tacked on two more in the top of the fifth with the help of a Brown single.
The Orioles staged a comeback attempt in the bottom of the sixth and final inning, scoring four runs to bring the final score to 12-9.
Isaiah Pighian had the big blow --- a three run double to center field.
Players for the Dodgers are Ethan Weets, Trenton Brown, John Kemp, Josh Enciso, Dylan Shaw, Mark McClean, Will Roberson, Alonzo Zaragoza, Matt Perkins, Aaron Fhong, Tim Elliott and Stella Fosberg.
Orioles players are Timmy Brodigan, Noah Gordon, Nicolas Joyal, Adrian Brown, Blaine Patten, Bernie Jones, Isaiah Pighin, Joey Joyal, Alex Whitman and Jacob White.

Rangers 13, Pirates 3
The Minors title for Pac-West went to the Rangers in the first final Saturday.
They came in as the undefeated team and took care of matters quickly in a 13-3 game that was called after four innings by a 10-run rule.
"We had some good pitching from Max Volle, and Hunter Hillyard and Christian Herrara hit the ball well," said Rangers manager Troy Ahlf. "Both of our catchers threw runners out and that's good."
