South Coast Cal Ripken 9U

07/13/2026

Today marks the end of an unforgettable season for our South Coast 9U team.
The boys battled hard through an extended tie game before UVCR was able to come out on top. While it wasn't the ending we had hoped for, that's baseball. Sometimes the game doesn't go your way, and those moments often teach the biggest lessons.
Today wasn't just about baseball. It was about learning respect, patience, resilience, and how to handle calls we don't always agree with. Our boys showed incredible character, never stopped competing, and represented South Coast with pride from the first pitch to the last.
We couldn't be more proud of every single player. Thank you to the coaches, families, and everyone who poured countless hours into helping these boys grow—not just as athletes, but as teammates and young men.

Keep your heads held high, boys. Be proud of what you accomplished. This may be the end of the season, but it's only the beginning of what's ahead. We can't wait to watch this team come back together next year.

Until then... keep working hard, keep having fun, and keep believing in yourselves.

Go South Coast! ⚾

What a day for South Coast 9U!
The boys came ready to compete and left it all on the field, battling through three big wins to bring home the championship!
—Game 1: Defeated Lake Oswego 9U, 14-5

—Game 2: Dominated UVCR, 20-0

—Championship: Took down West Linn Green 9U in a hard-fought 9-5 victory!

Our pitching staff was outstanding all day. Kannon, Zander, Alex, and Gage were throwing absolute heat and kept our opponents on their toes.
Offensively, the bats were on fire from top to bottom of the lineup. Hit after hit, every player contributed, proving that this team is dangerous from the first batter to the last.
A special shoutout to Gage Johnson, who earned Championship MVP after an outstanding performance. Gage stepped onto the mound to close out a high-pressure championship game with confidence and composure. What a performance when it mattered most. Atta kid, Gage!
What truly makes this team special isn't just the wins—it's the energy.

Championship mindset. Team-first attitude. South Coast 9U.

After a month apart representing their local All-Star teams, the South Coast 9U squad is finally back together!

For the past several weeks, these boys have gone from being teammates to competitors—playing against one another, battling it out on the field, and proudly representing their hometowns. While they may have been wearing different jerseys, they never stopped supporting one another.

Now, they're trading rivalries for teamwork once again as they're reunited for the 4th of July weekend tournament in West Linn. We can't wait to see everything they've learned over the past month come together as they take the field as one team.

As America's pastime, baseball has a way of bringing teammates, families, and communities together—and we wouldn't have it any other way. 🇺🇸⚾️
