Columbia High’s 8-0 girls softball start is tempered somewhat by the level of competition, but that won’t be an issue for the Bruins when they resume play following spring break in the competitive Trico League.

Columbia won two more non-league games this past week, 20-2 and 16-0, over winless Riverside, a Class 3A team from Boardman. The lopsided doubleheader victories have the Bruins outscoring their past three opponents (five games) by an eye-popping 104-11 — or a 21-2 average score.
