Columbia's second District Three softball playoff game can best be described as an up hill battle.
Thursday night at Muhlenberg High School, the battle for the Crimson Tide girls was two fold.
The first was Kutztown righty Megan Greiss. The second, which affected both teams, was the weather.
Greiss brought her "A" game against the Tide.
She had nine stirkeouts and had not allowed a base runner when the game was finally halted in the top of the fifth.
The weather was a hige factor in this one. There were two 20-minute delays because of lighting in the area. A third delay with vicious lighting, which led to the game being called, included some heavy rain.
The delay might help the Tide girls regroup as they trailed in the game 4-0.
It wasn't that Kutztown was hitting Tide hurler Emily Detz. She gave up two hits -- one a solid single and the other a little blooper over first. The problem was the Tide's fielding on Kutztown's bunt attempts. Columbia committed four errors in the game, which led to four unearned runs for Kutztown. Three runs by the Cougars were the direct result of Tide errors. The fourth run came on a wild pitch.
The game will be resumed in the top of the fifth Friday at 5 p.m., back at Muhlenberg, with Jenna Plastino having an 0-2 count on her.
Officials were trying to wait out the third delau, but the lighting got worse and then the heavy rains came.
