⚾🥎 ONE FINAL PUSH—WE’RE ALMOST THERE! 🥎⚾

The River Valley Athletic Boosters are just $10,000 away from reaching our goal for new baseball and softball scoreboards!

We still have openings at all sponsorship levels, giving local businesses an opportunity to support our student-athletes while receiving valuable community recognition. We are also gratefully accepting individual donations of any amount—every contribution brings us closer to the finish line!

Sponsorship levels:

⚾ Grand Slam Sponsor — $10,000+
⚾ Home Run Sponsor — $5,000+
⚾ Triple Sponsor — $2,500+
⚾ Double Sponsor — $1,000+
⚾ Single Sponsor — $500+

One donation. Years of exposure. A lasting legacy.

This campaign is sponsored by the River Valley Athletic Boosters, a 501(c)(3) organization.

The Vikings responded in the top of the third, taking a 3-1 advantage behind RBI singles from Pate Crawford and Dominic Weber.

Johnstown-Monroe answered in the bottom half of the inning to regain the lead at 4-3. While another run scored on a River Valley error.

River Valley tied the game in the fifth inning when Weber lined an RBI double to center field, evening the score at 4-4.

The Johnnies pulled away in the sixth inning, capitalizing on another Viking error making it 7-4.

Nolan Bailey started on the mound for River Valley, allowing four runs, three earned, on seven hits over three innings while striking out one and walking one.

Dominic Weber paced the Viking offense with a 2-for-3 performance and three RBIs. Isaac Donelson also collected two hits, while Aiden Bowers added speed on the bases with two steals. River Valley totaled four stolen bases in the game.
