La Pine Hawks Softball 8-12 Oakridge

La Pine couldn't quite keep pace in a high-scoring affair Friday, falling to Oakridge 12-8 in non-league softball action on the road. The Hawks showed offensive firepower with eight runs but couldn't match the host team's production in the back-and-forth contest.

Both teams found success at the plate throughout the game, combining for 20 runs in what became an entertaining slugfest. La Pine demonstrated they can compete with quality opponents, putting together solid at-bats and manufacturing runs against Oakridge pitching.

The loss drops La Pine to 1-2 on the young season as they continue working through early-season adjustments. While the final score wasn't in their favor, the Hawks showed encouraging signs offensively that should serve them well moving forward.

La Pine will look to get back in the win column when they return to action next week. The team's ability to generate offense gives them a foundation to build upon as they progress through the 2026 spring campaign.
