Columbiana entered their tilt with Southern on Monday with two consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with three. They were the clear victors by a 16-6 margin over the Indians. Considering the Clippers have won six matchups by more than seven runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.

Reese Roush and Sam Inboden made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, Roush struck out eight batters over four innings while giving up five earned (and one unearned) runs off five hits. Meanwhile, Inboden tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. He also tossed no walks, which is notable because Columbiana is undefeated when he allows at most two walks, but 5-9 otherwise. At the plate, Roush went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one double, while Inboden went 2-for-3 with two runs and one RBI. That's the most runs Roush has posted over his last 12 contests.

In other batting news, Hunter Davanzo was incredible, going 2-for-4 with one home run, four RBI, and one double. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in April of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Max Conway, who went 1-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and one stolen base.

Columbiana always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .611. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their OBP total in three consecutive games.

Columbiana's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 8-9. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.7 runs over those games. As for Southern, their loss dropped their record down to 2-9.

Columbiana will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Indians: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
