McDaniel Mountain Lions Softball 2-6 Oregon City

McDaniel's softball team struggled to find offensive rhythm in a 6-2 non-league loss at Oregon City on Monday afternoon. The Crusaders managed just two runs against Pioneer pitching, unable to capitalize on scoring opportunities throughout the contest.

Oregon City took control early and maintained their advantage, building a comfortable lead that McDaniel could not overcome despite competing efforts from the visiting squad. The Pioneers' balanced attack proved too much for the Crusaders' defense to contain.

The loss drops McDaniel to 0-3 on the young season as they continue searching for their first victory of 2026. While the start has been challenging, the non-league schedule provides valuable experience against quality competition before league play begins.

McDaniel will look to regroup and find their offensive spark in upcoming games. The Crusaders have shown flashes of potential through three contests and will aim to put together a complete performance to break into the win column. Their next opportunity comes as they continue working toward conference play.
