South Eugene Axe Baseball vs Cottage Grove

The bats came alive in a big way for South Eugene baseball Wednesday afternoon, as the Axe pounded out a 13-5 victory over Cottage Grove on the road. The decisive non-league win helped the Axe bounce back and even their early season record at 1-1.

South Eugene's offensive explosion provided a stark contrast to what had been a quiet start to the 2026 campaign. The eight-run margin of victory suggests the Axe found their rhythm at the plate, taking advantage of scoring opportunities throughout the contest against the Lions.

The road win in Cottage Grove gives South Eugene valuable momentum as they continue building toward league play. Getting the bats going early in the season often proves crucial for high school baseball teams, and Wednesday's performance should provide a confidence boost for the entire lineup.

South Eugene will look to carry this offensive energy into their next outing as they work to establish consistency in these early weeks of the spring season.
