Klamath Union Pelicans Baseball 1-11 Hidden Valley

The Klamath Union Pelicans opened their 2026 baseball season with an uphill battle Tuesday afternoon, falling 11-1 to visiting Hidden Valley at home. The Mustangs jumped on the Pelicans early and never looked back, putting together a dominant offensive performance that showcased their championship aspirations.

Hidden Valley's bats came alive against Pelican pitching, stringing together timely hits and capitalizing on scoring opportunities throughout the contest. The Pelicans managed just one run against a disciplined Mustang defense that executed fundamentally sound baseball.

While the final score wasn't what the home crowd hoped for, season openers often reveal areas for improvement that teams can address as league play develops. The Pelicans now sit 0-1 overall and 0-1 in conference play.

Head coach and players will likely focus on the positives from this outing while identifying specific areas to strengthen before their next league matchup. With a full season ahead, the Pelicans have plenty of opportunities to bounce back and find their rhythm at the plate and on the mound.
