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
