Mid-Prairie ends its season at 9-21.
No. 1 Davenport Assumption 12, Columbus 0
Davenport was the site of this Region 1 game that ended in three innings at the St. Vincent Center.
Assumption pitcher Allie Timmons twirled a no-hitter, but issued two walks.
Columbus ended its season at 4-20.
'The first two innings we played great,” Columbus coach Katie Coil said. 'They only had a 4-0 run. We just had too many mistakes on routine plays. Assumption is a very solid organization and very disciplined.”
Columbus committed six errors in the game.
