Blanchet Catholic School Cavaliers Softball 7-20 Umpqua Valley Christian / Camas Valley

The bats stayed quiet for most of Saturday's non-league softball game as Blanchet Catholic dropped a 20-7 decision to Umpqua Valley Christian/Camas Valley on the road. The Cavaliers managed seven runs but couldn't keep pace with the host team's explosive offensive output in the lopsided contest.

Blanchet Catholic's struggles continued in the early portion of the 2026 spring season, with the loss dropping their record to 0-3. The Cavaliers showed some fight at the plate with seven runs scored, but defensive lapses and pitching difficulties allowed Umpqua Valley Christian to pull away decisively.

Despite the challenging start to the campaign, there were positive signs in the Cavaliers' ability to generate offense against quality competition. The team will look to build on those bright spots as they continue working through early-season adjustments.

Blanchet Catholic will have opportunities to find their rhythm as league play approaches. The Cavaliers return home for their next contest, hoping familiar surroundings can help spark the turnaround they're seeking.
