COLUMBIA CITY — At the bottom of the seventh, the tying run was on base.

That’s how close Columbia City’s baseball team came to beating Carroll Thursday night and securing at least a share of the Northeast Hoosier Conference title.

The Eagles lost the one-run contest, 7-6, at home. They took their first in-conference loss, as they fell to 5-1 in the NHC and 9-5 overall.

A light drizzle fell throughout the game, making for less than ideal playing conditions.

COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia City’s golf team dropped to a whole new low Thursday night — and not the bad kind.

The Eagles were determined to even out their Northeast Hoosier Conference record, topping New Haven by an impressive 148-200 score — the lowest score Columbia City has posted this season — and in the last 10 years.

“That kind of score will get you anywhere,” Columbia City Head Coach Andrew Thompson said, alluding that a 148 could advance nearly any team to the state finals. “I think some people will see this score and start to notice us.

“That’s just tremendous golf.”

COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia City’s girls track team hosted, and fell, to Huntington North Thursday night.

The Lady Eagles dropped the meet 89-43, but Columbia City Head Coach Bob Fahl said there were several high-points on the night.

Hearld attempted a leap of 5-7.5, but wasn’t able to clear the bar.

Several other tracksters had personal records Thursday.
