The Columbus Wildcat softball team scored their second straight win Wednesday, beating New London 7-1. The victory over the Tigers comes on the heels of a 5-2 win against Mount Pleasant over the weekend. Columbus jumped on the Tigers early, building a 6-0 lead with two runs in the first, one in the second, two more in the third and a single run in the sixth. New London got on the board with one in the bottom of the sixth, but Columbus tacked on another insurance run in their last at bat to finish the win. The Wildcats were led by a three hit night from Jobie Lekwa with two RBI. Lily Coil and Michelle Diaz each had two hits. Libby White got the win in the circle, working six and a third innings, allowing just one hit, one run, walking five and striking out four. Columbus is now 2-2 on the season, they travel to Wapello tonight.
