Columbia played two in the first, one in the second, and seven in the third to take a 10-0 lead through three innings and coast to the win in game three of the series.
CC struck early again in game two with a three-run bottom of the first. The Cougars added another in the second and two more in the third to take a 6-0 advantage after three innings.
WBU got on the board in the top of the fourth courtesy of an RBI double from Gavin Mink. Skylar Morrison followed to drive in Mink on an RBI double of his own, then Lawson Aaron played Skylar Morrison two batters later to cut the Cougar lead to three.
