The Columbus Community closed week three of the season with a pair of games and split the two on Friday and Saturday.

On Friday the Wildcats hosted Holy Trinity (3-6) for a cross over game and came from behind to win 9-8. Down 8-3 in the sixth, Columbus scored three times in the bottom half of that frame and two in the seventh to manage the walk off win. Michelle Diaz led the offense going 3-for-4 with two RBI and Lela Fort also had three hits. Lily Coil tossed all seven innings giving up eight runs (two earned), 10 hits, and striking out 10. 

The blue and white traveled to Letts on Saturday and faced Cedar Rapids Prairie (14-4) where they lost 9-2. Coil had three of the team’s six hits with a single, double, triple, and the eighth grader also brought in a run. Libby White gave up nine runs (four earned) on 10 knocks and two walks. 

Columbus is now 4-8 and hosts Lone Tree tonight.
