February 17, 2026
The Olympic College Rangers kicked off the 2026 season behind freshman starter, Jameson Connolly, who set the early tone by striking out six batters over four innings in Saturday's opener, showcasing the competitiveness that the staff believes will anchor the rotation moving forward. From there, the weekend saw the Rangers continue to build promising pieces despite four losses to a tough Southwestern Oregon squad. Dominic Kaptur sparked the offense on Saturday, doubling among two hits in Game 1 before scoring three times in Game 2 as he emerged as a dynamic top‑order threat. Andrew Ahn added early consistency, reaching base four times with a stolen base in the opener and delivering two RBI doubles in Game 2. Sunday brought more bright spots—Ryan Hartnett opened the spring hot, going 2‑for‑2 with a double in Game 3 and adding another RBI in Game 4, while Carson Puryear, Seamus Brown, Dante Acacio, and Dominic Hecker contributed steady production to cap the weekend. On the mound, Greysun Harris' two scoreless, three‑strikeout innings in Saturday's opener and Wyatt Robinson's one‑run, four‑inning relief appearance on Sunday underscored the depth taking shape in the bullpen. Though the Rangers came up short in all four contests, the opening weekend revealed a foundation built on competitive at‑bats, resilient pitching, and emerging leaders—early signs of a group ready to grow quickly as the season unfolds.
