The battle for Eugene mayor between incumbent Kitty Piercy and challenger Jim Torrey apparently will last another five months.
Both Piercy and Torrey were failing to get more than 50 percent of the vote in Tuesdays primary election, forcing a runoff between the two in the Nov. 4 general election.
With nearly 40 percent of the vote counted, only 339 votes separated the two candidates. Torrey led 48.2 percent to Piercys 47.3 percent. Two minor candidates held the rest of the votes.
