Ridgeview Ravens Baseball 9-4 South Salem

Five runs proved to be the difference as Ridgeview baseball launched its 2026 campaign with a convincing 9-4 victory over visiting South Salem in non-league action. The Ravens jumped out to an early advantage and never looked back, showcasing the offensive depth that could make them a factor in Central Oregon this spring.

Ridgeview's balanced attack kept the Saxons' pitching staff off balance throughout the contest, with multiple players contributing to the nine-run output. South Salem managed four runs of their own but couldn't match the Ravens' consistent pressure at the plate.

The season-opening win establishes early momentum for a Ridgeview program looking to build on recent success. Getting quality at-bats against a competitive 6A opponent like South Salem provides valuable experience heading into league play.

Now 1-0, the Ravens will look to carry this offensive rhythm into their next contest as they continue building chemistry in the early stages of what promises to be an intriguing season in Central Oregon high school baseball.
