| April 24, 2024 2:00 AM

The Columbia Falls baseball squad got a big win at home last week, dropping Eureka 6-3 Tuesday for a key conference victory.

Lincoln County put up a 2-0 lead in the top of the first, but the Wildcats answered with two runs of their own when Cody Schweikert hit a single with two on to tie it. The Lions would add a run in the top of the second, but Columbia Falls answered with two in the bottom of the third after Schweikert hit a fielder’s choice with two on. The Cats then put up runs in the bottom of the fourth and fifth.

Reggie Sapa was 2 for 3 with an RBI and Schweikert had four RBIs in the win.Freshman Jett Pitts started, giving up two hits, while striking out three over four innings. Pitts did  nice job of getting out of  bases loaded jam in the first. Matt Mitts and Kellen Kroger combined for three innings of relief.
