Riddle Irish Baseball 9-16 Reedsport

Riddle's bats came alive but couldn't keep pace with visiting Reedsport in a wild 16-9 baseball loss Tuesday afternoon at home. The Irish managed their best offensive showing of the young season, plating nine runs against the Brave pitching staff in what turned into a slugfest under partly cloudy skies.

Despite the improved run production, Riddle struggled to contain Reedsport's lineup, which erupted for 16 runs to pull away in the non-league contest. The loss drops the Irish to 0-2 on the season as they continue searching for their first victory of 2026.

While the result wasn't what Riddle wanted, the offensive breakthrough provides a foundation to build upon. Nine runs represents a significant step forward for an Irish squad that has shown flashes of potential early this spring.

Riddle will look to carry the improved hitting into their next outing while tightening up defensively. The Irish remain focused on finding the right combination as league play approaches later this season.
