Bandon Tigers Baseball 13-6 Westview

The Tigers faced a tough introduction to the 2026 season as Phoenix dominated from the first inning in Tuesday's non-league baseball matchup at home. Bandon managed just one run against a relentless Phoenix offense that put up 17 runs in what became a lopsided affair.

The season opener proved challenging for the Tigers, who found themselves overmatched against a Phoenix squad that capitalized on nearly every opportunity. While Bandon did manage to cross the plate once, preventing a shutout, the visitors controlled the game throughout.

Despite the difficult start, opening games often serve as valuable learning experiences for young teams finding their rhythm. The Tigers will have plenty of opportunities to regroup and show improvement as the season progresses.

Bandon falls to 0-1 with the loss but will look to bounce back quickly. The Tigers have a full slate of games ahead to develop their skills and build chemistry as they work toward their first win of the campaign.
