Protecting home field is what the Highland summer teams did in Riverside on Tuesday when they welcomed Columbus for a Southeast Iowa Super Conference night and came out victorious in both games.
The Huskie softball team scored in five different innings and controlled the entire game for a 9-3 win. Grace Batcheller had three of the team’s nine hits with a single, double, and triple while bringing in a run. Payton Brun went 2-for-4 with two RBI. Batcheller got the win in the circle tossing five frames giving up two earned runs on four hits and striking out six. Highland improves to 8-2 and Columbus drops to 2-6.
