An extended winning streak for one team ended, while another squad had to scramble to earn a split with a divisional rival. It all happened during the past week in Lower Columbia College Athletics.
The softball team had its 38-game winning streak snapped during a trip to Gresham to face Mount Hood, while the baseball team split a pair of doubleheaders against Tacoma at David Story Field and in Tacoma.
Despite having its winning streak come to an end in softball, top-ranked LCC (44-5 overall, 29-3 in the NWAC South Region) still heads into the NWAC Championships as the South Region champion.
The Red Devils dropped both ends of the twinbill at Mount Hood 10-4 and 7-3, and split with Centralia, losing the opener 4-2, and taking the nightcap 10-2 in six innings. The last time LCC lost three games in a row was during April 29 to May 2, 2023, when it was swept by Mount Hood, and lost the opening game of a doubleheader to Centralia.
Talk about history repeating itself.
