Bend Senior Lava Bears Baseball 9-4 Summit

Five runs in the opening innings set the tone as Bend baseball rolled to a 9-4 victory over Summit on Tuesday afternoon. The Lava Bears controlled the game from the start, building enough cushion to withstand a late Storm rally attempt.

Bend jumped ahead early and never looked back, adding insurance runs throughout the middle innings to maintain their advantage. Summit managed to cut into the deficit late, but the Lava Bears had already established too commanding a lead.

The road victory keeps Bend firmly in contention for league positioning with their 14-3 overall record and 11-3 conference mark. The offense showed the kind of early-game aggression that has defined their successful spring campaign.

With just a handful of regular season games remaining, every league contest carries added weight for playoff seeding. The Lava Bears return home for their next matchup as they continue building momentum toward the postseason. Their ability to win decisively on the road demonstrates the team's growing confidence in pressure situations.
