The Riverhawks followed with come-from-behind, 6-5, victory March 20 over the La Grande High Tigers (0-1), a 2024 Class 4A state playoff team. Following a 2-2 first-inning deadlock, the Riverhawks fell behind 5-2 in the third. After a scoreless fourth frame, the Riverhawks had a four-run, fifth inning rally to go on top 6-5.
The Riverhawks outhit the Tigers, 10-7, and they were led offensively by senior Finley Corbin (3-for-4), Booth (1-for-4, RBI), Dray (1-for-3, RBI), Schwartz (1-for-3, two RBI), and Peterson (2-for-3, RBI).
Schwartz, the Riverhawks’ starting pitcher, struck out four in three innings pitched before giving way to Hodges and Booth in relief efforts.
