A Historic Victory
The West Linn Lions roared to a 6-2 victory over Clackamas in eight innings, clinching the 2026 Oregon 6A baseball state championship. The win underscored the team’s resilience and offensive firepower, capping a season that has already seen dramatic moments on the diamond.
Building on that momentum, West Linn High School will host 16 summer games through July 16. The slate features elite travel teams and competitive tournaments, including the prestigious Big Bang event, promising high‑stakes matchups for players and fans alike.
Summer Showdown
Teams from across Oregon will converge on the Lions’ home field, with opponents spanning Gresham, Century, Tigard, Westview, Columbia River, The Dalles and Portland. Each game is expected to draw large crowds eager to see the state’s top high school talent in action.
Fans can watch the games live or revisit key moments on demand via the NFHS Network, which requires a subscription for streaming access. The platform’s coverage aims to bring the excitement of high school baseball to a broader audience.
The community’s enthusiasm is palpable, especially after a narrow 4-1 loss to the Tualatin Timberwolves on May 9, 2024, which served as a catalyst for the team’s subsequent championship run. As the summer unfolds, West Linn’s baseball program looks to build on its recent success and inspire the next generation of players.
