COLUMBUS — The Lady Cardinals softball team mounted an enormous comeback March 21 at Cardinals Field and defeated Yoakum High School by a final score of 15-12. Yoakum tacked on the runs early before Columbus scored nine runs in the bottom of the sixth inning and closed out the game on defense in the top of the seventh.
“Right before that inning, I told the girls that we’ve all been in games where we’ve scored eight or more runs in a game,” said Columbus head softball coach Alfred Rosa.
“I said ‘how do you know it’s not this game?’ And it takes one plus one plus one and they just all came through. One hit leads to the next hit leads to the next hit. These kids never not believe that they can lose a game. Sometimes you can’t coach that. They just don’t believe they can lose.”
