Sheldon 10, Crescent Valley 0 (5)

EUGENE - Crescent Valley managed just one hit in a nonconference loss to 6A Sheldon in its season-opener.

"We didn't hit the ball well," said CV coach Jim Owre. "They threw a very good pitcher at us and we had first-game jitters."

Sheldon broke open the game in the second inning, scoring seven runs.

"We made errors at the wrong times," Owre said. "They always seemed to have runners on that scored."

CV finished the game with six errors, which led to six unearned runs for Sheldon.

Grant Mattes had the only hit for the Raiders who are scheduled to play Sandy today, another 6A school.

Softball

EUGENE - Philomath High jumped right into the softball season with a game at defending state champion Marist.

The Warriors couldn't quite stretch the game to seven as the Spartans took a 9-0 lead in the third and finished it in the bottom of the sixth on 2008 player of the year Nyree White's three-run home run.

White went 3-for-4 with five runs batted in.

"She's a one-person wrecking crew," PHS coach Dave Dunham said.

Deanna Page went 1-for-2 with one RBI for the Warriors (0-1).

The Warriors host Pleasant Hill for a doubleheader on Saturday.
