Bend Senior Lava Bears Baseball 2-3 Ridgeview

A pitcher's duel at home turned into heartbreak for the Ravens on Tuesday night, as Bend fell 3-2 to Ridgeview in Intermountain Conference (5A) baseball action in Bend, Oregon. The loss snapped a strong stretch for the Ravens, who had been riding high with quality play throughout the spring season. Both teams traded runs in what became a defensive showcase, with neither offense able to break through for a decisive advantage. Bend managed to plate two runs but couldn't find the clutch hit needed to push across the tying or winning run in the later innings. The narrow defeat drops the Ravens to 16-4 overall and 12-4 in conference play, still maintaining a strong position in the Intermountain Conference standings. With the regular season winding down, Bend remains well-positioned for the postseason despite Tuesday's setback. The Ravens will look to bounce back and return to their winning ways in their next conference matchup as they prepare for the final stretch of league play.
