Ridgeview Ravens Softball 4-9 Crater

Crater defeated Ridgeview 9-4 in non-league softball action Thursday at Ridgeview High School in Redmond, Oregon, handing the Intermountain Conference (5A) Ravens a late-season setback. The visiting Eagles built momentum throughout the contest, ultimately pulling away from Ridgeview despite the Ravens' efforts to keep pace early. Ridgeview entered the matchup with high expectations after a strong spring campaign, but Crater's offensive attack proved too much to overcome on home turf. The loss serves as a reminder of the competitive landscape heading into the postseason, as teams across the state continue to battle for positioning and momentum. With their record now standing at 20-7 overall and 15-3 in conference play, the Ravens remain in solid position despite Thursday's disappointment. The non-league nature of the contest means it won't affect Ridgeview's strong conference standing, but it does provide valuable experience against quality opposition. The Ravens will look to regroup and refocus as they prepare for the final stretch of the season and upcoming playoff preparations.
