Tiffin - The Columbian Junior Varsity Tornadoes remained unbeaten Friday, defeating Huron 9-4 to improve to 2-0 on the season.
Columbian wasted no time responding after falling behind early. After surrendering three runs in the top of the first inning, the Tornadoes answered with a huge bottom half, erupting for seven runs on seven hits to take control of the game. Jackson Hohman delivered the biggest hit of the inning, driving in two runs with a single.
Brahm Bolen got the start on the mound for Columbian, working four innings while allowing four runs (three earned) on four hits, with four strikeouts and four walks. Blake Rhodes was dominant in relief, tossing three shutout innings without allowing a hit while striking out five and walking three.
Columbian tallied 11 hits in the contest. Rhodes, Russel Fox, and Bolen each recorded two hits to pace the offense. Hohman led the team with two RBIs from the eighth spot in the lineup.
The Tornadoes also showed patience and aggressiveness at the plate and on the basepaths. Columbian drew nine walks, with Connor Donaldson and Max Hoyda each earning two. On the bases, Ayden Yoshimoto, Fox, and Hohman each swiped multiple bags as the team totaled 10 stolen bases in the win.
Columbian will look to keep the momentum going Saturday when it travels to Lexington.
