Roosevelt Roughriders Baseball 1-4 McNary

McNary's bats came alive early and often as the Celtics handed Roosevelt baseball a 4-1 defeat in Friday's home opener at Roosevelt High School. The loss drops the Roughriders to 2-1 on the young season after a promising start to 2026.

Roosevelt managed just one run against McNary's pitching staff, struggling to generate consistent offensive pressure throughout the non-league matchup. The Celtics built their lead steadily, taking advantage of key scoring opportunities that proved to be the difference in the seven-inning contest.

Despite the setback, Roosevelt has shown flashes of potential through their first three games, taking two of three to open the spring campaign. The Roughriders will need to regroup quickly as league play approaches and the competition intensifies.

Friday's loss serves as a valuable measuring stick for Roosevelt against quality non-league competition. The team's early-season success demonstrates the foundation is there for a strong 2026 campaign. Roosevelt will look to bounce back and return to their winning ways in their next outing as they continue building toward conference play.
