Last Time Out
Columbia dropped its series finale to No. 11 East Carolina on Sunday, 8-6. The Columbia offense exploded for 13 hits yesterday afternoon, including three home runs. Jack Cooper launched his sixth home run of the season in the top of the fourth.
In the top of the eighth, Miles Blackwell mashed a three-run home run to left to bring Columbia back into the game. Anton Lazits then followed up by crushing a two-run home run to left in the top of the ninth to make it 8-6. Additionally, Cole Hage, Eric Jeon, Sam Miller, and Skye Selinsky all recorded multi-hit performances.
The Lions' eight-game spring break trip featured two ranked opponents (No. 23 UC Irvine and No. 11 East Carolina).

Columbia is 28-5 at home since the beginning of 2022. Earlier this month, the Lions swept a three-game sweep over Marist.
