Silverton Foxes Softball 10-21 Central Catholic

The bats were active on both sides, but Central Catholic's offense proved too much for Silverton in Thursday's non-league softball opener at home. The Foxes fell 21-10 to the Rams in a high-scoring affair that saw 31 total runs cross the plate. Despite putting up double digits on the scoreboard, Silverton couldn't match Central Catholic's explosive attack throughout the contest. The loss drops the Foxes to 0-1 to start the 2026 spring campaign. While the final score was lopsided, Silverton's ability to generate 10 runs suggests the offensive pieces are there for coach and the team to build upon. The early-season matchup against a strong Central Catholic program provided valuable experience for a Foxes squad looking to establish its identity. Silverton will need to tighten up defensively while maintaining that offensive production as they move forward. The Foxes have plenty of season ahead to find their rhythm and make adjustments before league play begins in earnest.
