The No. 2 The Dalles High Riverhawks proved worthy of their high recognition in the OSAA Class 4A softball rankings with a 13-1 win over the Class 5A Hood River Valley High Eagles in an April 7 Gorge rivalry matchup in The Dalles.
The Riverhawks, guided by first-year Coach Lindy Macnab, overpowered the Eagles with a potent offense (11 hits) and error-free defense in allowing no earned runs.
After going through a rough four-game losing streak, the Hood River Valley High Eagles were hoping to turn things around and get a win in their Class 5A softball Northwest Oregon Conference opening game Tuesday against the Parkrose High Broncos (result was after the printed edition deadline).
