Late home run dooms Warrenton in league showdown
The baseball game Friday afternoon at Warrenton High School went a long way towards determining the 3A Coastal Range League Champion.
The Warrenton team and Horizon Christian finished as the top two teams in the 3A Coastal Range League a year ago, and were set for their first matchup of 2026. Due to the rankings and play of the other teams in the league, this game was expected to be the first of two championship fights. Although Banks is also undefeated, the Braves are only ranked 35th in 3A, while Warrenton and Horizon Christian entered Friday as top eight teams.
Friday afternoon played out in predictable fashion. Both teams threw jabs at each other, which were matched. Horizon started things off with two runs in the top of the first. Warrenton would match right away to even things up at two.
Despite both teams having chances to score over the next four innings, the game remained in a 2-2 deadlock. That was until third baseman Drew Bergh stepped to the plate in the sixth inning. The senior proceeded to blast a home run over the left field fence to give the Hawks a 4-2 lead. Junior pitcher Blake Jones got the final six outs of the game to secure the Horizon Christians a 4-2 victory. The win moves Horizon Christian into pole position in the Coastal Range League and moved them up to No. 5 in 3A. The Warrenton team dropped to third behind Horizon Christian and Banks.
RJ Thornton was the offensive standout for Warrenton as he went 2-3 with one run batted in. In total, the Warriors had just four hits. Ryan Palmer was the hard luck loser on the mound as he was doomed by one bad pitch. The junior went six innings, allowed eight total base runners and struck out seven. Eli Neahring had a strong seventh inning on the mound as he retired Horizon Christian in order.
The Warrenton team returned to the diamond on Saturday afternoon against Castle Rock High. The Warriors traveled to Washington for a game against the Rockets.
A strong pitching performance by Jerry Neighbors and Jake Kerker held Warrenton to just one hit over seven innings. The senior duo struck out a combined 12 Warriors batters en route to a 6-0 win.
After the winless weekend, the Warrenton baseball team dropped to 7-6 on the year and now sit No. 10 in the Oregon School Activities Association 3A rankings.
Seaside boys drop home opener
Something special looked to be brewing in Seaside through five innings.
Both Seaside pitcher Kane Israel and St. Helens starter Sawyer Scales had no hitters. The only blemish on either’s score card were three walks from Scales. Those three walks allowed Seaside to take a 1-0 lead going into the sixth inning.
The game was closely contested, with both teams matching runs early on, but the final outcome is not specified in the excerpt.
Warrenton's softball team rebounded against Rainier, and Knappa's team is moving up the rankings after a successful four-game stretch.
This matchup is crucial as it could determine the 3A Coastal Range League Champion, with both teams being top contenders.
Warrenton and Horizon Christian are both ranked in the top eight of the 3A Coastal Range League, while Banks is ranked 35th.

Playing in the Cowapa League home opener, the Seagulls looked to be on the verge of pulling off a great victory. Israel already had one no-hitter on the season and was looking for another one.
But the sixth inning saw everything unravel for Seaside as the Lions scored five runs to take control of the game. St. Helens would score two more in the seventh to give Scales all the help he needed, as the junior went seven innings, struck out 13 and threw 110 pitchers in the Lions 7-1 victory.
The loss extended Seaside’s losing streak to seven games in a row.
Grayson Miller finished with the only hit for Seaside in the loss.
Astoria boys blanked by Scappoose
Top-ranked 4A team Scappoose looked the part as the boys took care of business on Saturday afternoon at Tapiola Park.

Leadoff hitter Sam Schacher had the only hit for Astoria as he singled in the bottom of the first inning. After that no other Fishermen reached base.
Knappa boys sweep Vernonia
The Knappa baseball boys started off league play just like they wanted with a three-game sweep of Vernonia. After taking game one on Monday, the Loggers won a two-game road double-header by scores of 8-1 and 11-0. The result moved Knappa to the top of the Northwest League alongside the team’s closest opponent, Portland Christian.
The 19th-ranked Loggers will host game one of their three game series against the Royals on Tuesday. This series will help determine the winner of the Northwest league at season’s end. With the Loggers currently outside playoff contention via rankings, winning the league will be the easiest way to guarantee another berth in the state playoffs later on this spring.
Warrenton softball bounces back
Warrenton’s softball team returned to business as usual on Friday afternoon.
The Warriors responded after losing two games against Banks with a 15-0 victory over the Columbians. A six-run third and seven-run fifth put the game out of reach early in Warrenton’s favor.
There were lots of standouts in this game for the Warriors starting with pitcher Scarlet Anderson. The sophomore went 2-4 at the plate with four RBIs and then gave up just one hit in her five innings of work. Third place hitter Natalie Davis smashed a home run as one of her three hits. Davis would also have three RBIs to boot. Senior Natalie Pike walked four times, Hannah Leavitt went 2-4 with three RBIs, Lucy Smith went 2-5 with a run batted in, Kiki Olson went 3-4 and Emma Stevens went 1-2 with two walks.
The win improved Warrenton to 11-4 and has the team ranked No. 9 in 3A.
Next up for the girls is a non-league road game against Knappa on Wednesday. That game is scheduled to start at 4:30 p.m.
Knappa girls take care of Vernonia
The Knappa girls followed the boys and also took care of Vernonia in their three-game series.
In the battle of Loggers, Knappa had the upper hand as the team outscored Vernonia 46-15 over the three games. Knappa won game one 15-5 on Monday, then won by scores of 16-10 and 15-0 on Friday.
