The Columbus Titan Baseball season ended with a heartbreaking, 0-1, loss to Galena in the Kan-sas Class 3A Regional, Quarterfinal, Wednesday, at Girard. On paper, the Titans looked to be the clear winner as starting pitcher, Jack Vilela, tossed 13 strike outs in six innings, including three each in the fifth and sixth innings, and allowed just three hits. The fatal blow came when Galena leadoff batter, Zane Turner, senior, drew a walk with two outs in the top of the third inning. He stole second and the speedster scored on a RBI single by junior, Jack Perry, just over the Titan second baseman’s head.
