KINSTON, N.C. — The Catawba Valley Community College baseball team wrapped up its 2026 season Sunday at the Region 10 Tournament at Grainger Park, going 1-2 over the final two days of the double-elimination event after opening the tournament with a win on Friday.

The Red Hawks began postseason play with a 7-5 victory against Pitt Community College, advancing into Saturday's matchup with Brunswick.

Catawba Valley fell 11-7 to the Dolphins on Saturday despite recording nine hits. Jacob Krebs led the offense with a home run and two RBIs, while Tanner Brewer added a pair of hits and drove in two runs. Brady Byler also contributed two RBIs.

Facing elimination Sunday afternoon, Catawba Valley responded with a gritty 9-7 victory against Lenoir. The Red Hawks pounded out 15 hits led by Pierce Bouwman's four-hit, three-RBI performance. Alex Robinson delivered a key swing with a home run and four RBIs, while Brady Byler added three hits and scored three runs.

On the mound, Braiden Moore provided a strong relief effort, earning the win after tossing five innings and allowing just two runs. His outing helped stabilize the game after a back-and-forth start and sent CVCC into Sunday night's elimination contest against Cleveland.

In the nightcap, however, the Red Hawks dropped a 7-3 decision to the Yetis to end their season. Catawba Valley was limited to five hits with Brady Byler collecting two hits and driving in two runs.

Catawba Valley closes the 2026 campaign with a 36-23 overall record.
