La Pine Hawks Softball 11-9 Creswell

La Pine's bats came alive at the perfect time, powering past Creswell 11-9 in a wild softball slugfest Friday afternoon. The Hawks needed every one of those 11 runs in a back-and-forth league contest that saw both teams combine for 20 runs.

The victory moves La Pine to 6-16 overall and 5-7 in conference play, giving the Hawks some late-season momentum as they continue to battle in league competition. While the pitching staffs struggled to find their rhythm, La Pine's offense stepped up when it mattered most.

Both teams showed they could swing the bat, but the Hawks managed to stay just ahead throughout the later innings. The win represents a solid effort for a La Pine squad that has faced adversity this season but continues to compete hard in every game.

With league play winding down, the Hawks will look to build on this offensive performance and carry the positive energy into their remaining games as they finish out the 2026 spring campaign.
