The Marion Indians and Waterloo Columbus Sailors split a pair of tight Wamac Conference baseball games at Marion Monday night.

Columbus won the opener, 3-2.

Marion rebounded and claimed the nightcap, 9-8, in eight innings on a game-winning single by Logan Fuller.

The first game was a pitching duel between Mike Letkewicz of Columbus and Tyler Hedtke of Marion. Both pitchers scattered six hits. Letkewicz had 12 strikeouts and Hedtke had seven.

Fuller had a triple for Marion in the opener, setting the stage for his heroics in the bottom of the eighth inning in the nightcap. His bases-loaded single drove in Sean McGarvey to snap an 8-8 tie and gain the split.

Columbus rallied with four runs in the top of the seventh to tie the nightcap and force extra innings. Letkewicz hit a three-run homer for the Sailors in the seventh.

Christian Stekl picked up the win in relief for Marion. Addison Johnson hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the second to give Marion an early 6-1 lead.

Alex Charipar had two doubles and two RBIs for Marion (13-5, 8-2) in the nightcap. Stekl, Fuller and Cale Cannoy had two hits.
