COLUMBIA — <\/strong>Summer Hooten slid into third base with a triple after both Saviya Morgan and Tashiya Lyles crossed the plate to give her Columbia team a lead in the sixth inning, and she added an insurance run when she scored on a Addison Maurer bunt and error. The Lady Lions then staved off a late rally and earned a tough 4-3 road win over Zion Christian on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zion loaded the bases in both the sixth and seventh innings, but managed to get just one run across the plate. Coach Russ Adcox said Columbia just made the plays necessary to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We hit the ball well, but they made plays late in the game, and sometimes you just have to tip your cap to them,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
