The opening of league play last week was not exactly what the Columbia High baseball team was expecting, especially after its 4-1 start to the season.

But King’s Way Christian rode the momentum of Makani Geisen’s pitching gem to propel the Vancouver school to a three-game Trico League sweep of the Bruins this past week.

Columbia High swept a doubleheader against Stanfield on Saturday to improve its record to 2-1 early this baseball season.

Two places one way or another was the difference between a championship and runner-up finish at the Oct. 20 Trico League Championship cross country race at Vancouver Lake.
