Columbia State Rallies in 7th, Wins 7-4
A five-run seventh gives Columbia State the win on Saturday night.
Columbia State took the lead in the seventh inning, and the Chipola Indians (12-3) were unable to muster a comeback, losing 7-4 in seven innings on Saturday at Chipola College.

After two strikeouts, Cabral and the Indians were one strike away from victory when Columbia State hit a grand slam to put them up 7-4.

The Chipola Indians matched their two-run fifth inning with two more in the sixth. In the fifth, the Chipola Indians scored on a walk by Wood Myers, scoring Edwards.
