Columbus Majors battle to title game before falling short
Columbus Majors battle to title game before falling short
EL CAMPO – The Columbus Little League softball Majors were just a few runs from winning the state tournament and moving on to the next level to represent as the Texas East state champion. They had a difficult battle to reach that point, going through a few instances of adversity that required a high level of focus and performance to respond from. After winning their first game against Lindale by a big margin, Columbus fell to Industrial 1-6 in the next game. Needing to win three games in a row to claim the championship, the Majors won their first game of the consolation bracket against Silsbee in a 15-point shutout to set up a rematch against Industrial. Columbus would need two wins against undefeated Industrial to claim their tournament victory. They had a strong start in game one, coming back from one run down to take a big victory in extra innings. However, despite some hot hitting in game two, Columbus fell just short of claiming the championship with a difficult loss not too long after their victory in game one. 07/19/2023 12:00 AM

Each team made it as far as they did because of the performances of a number of standout players on their respective squads. However, both teams benefitted from an impactful leader that placed themselves in the conversation as one of the best players in the state for the 3A division. 07/19/2023 12:00 AM
