Valley Catholic Valiants Softball 16-3 Rainier

Valley Catholic's bats went quiet Tuesday as the Valiants dropped a 6-1 decision to Rainier in Lewis & Clark League softball action. The Beaverton, Oregon squad managed just one run against the Columbians in the 3A conference matchup, falling to 4-5 overall and 3-4 in league play.

Rainier took control early and maintained their advantage throughout, building a comfortable lead that Valley Catholic couldn't overcome despite competitive efforts. The Valiants' lone run prevented a shutout, but they were unable to generate the offensive momentum needed to mount a serious comeback threat.
