Bend Senior Lava Bears Softball 4-11 Ridgeview

Ridgeview's explosive offense proved too much for Bend softball on Friday night, as the visiting Ravens pulled away for an 11-4 Intermountain Conference victory at Bend, Oregon. The loss drops the Lava Bears to 9-15 overall and 8-10 in conference play with the 5A league season winding down.

Bend managed to put four runs on the board but couldn't contain Ridgeview's potent lineup, which consistently found gaps and capitalized on scoring opportunities throughout the contest. The Ravens built their advantage steadily, turning what started as a competitive game into a comfortable margin of victory.

Despite the setback, the Lava Bears showed resilience at the plate, generating enough offense to stay in the game early. However, defensive struggles and Ridgeview's relentless attack ultimately decided the outcome.

With just a few games remaining in the regular season, Bend will look to regroup and finish strong. The team's focus now shifts to making the most of their remaining opportunities and building momentum heading into the postseason picture.
