Newberg Tigers Softball 6-3 Cleveland

Three games into the season, Newberg's softball team continues to find ways to win away from home. The Tigers defeated Cleveland 6-3 on Thursday evening at Cleveland High School, maintaining their unblemished record to start the 2026 spring campaign.

Facing a scrappy Cleveland squad that kept pace through the middle innings, Newberg demonstrated the clutch hitting and defensive composure that has defined their early success. The Tigers managed to pull away late in the contest, turning a tight game into a comfortable three-run margin.

The non-league victory serves as valuable preparation as Newberg builds toward league play. Road wins like Thursday's matchup against Cleveland test a team's mental toughness and ability to execute in hostile environments – qualities that will prove essential once Pacific Conference competition begins.

At 3-0, the Tigers have established themselves as a team to watch in the early stages of the season. Newberg returns home next week looking to extend their winning streak and continue building momentum for the challenges ahead.
