Columbus won the second game, 2-0.

Shortstop Michalyn Mohr, just a ninth grader, went 3-for-3 for Marion (10-9, 2-6) in the opener and drove in a run. Beth Knapp, a junior, went 2-for-3 and had the other RBI.

Brooke Craig, a freshman, tossed a three-hit shutout for Waterloo Columbus in the nightcap. Fiser had two of those hits for Marion.
