MOSES LAKE - The Lady Vikings rebounded from back-to-back home losses to Walla Walla Friday with a come-from-behind 6-5 win over Columbia Basin College (CBC) in the first game of a twin bill at home Saturday.
The Hawks got on the board first with two runs in the top of the second innings to take an early 2-0 lead. Big Bend responded with four in the bottom of the frame to go up 4-2.
CBC evened things 4-4 with two runs in the top of the third. The Lady Vikings answered back with two in the bottom of the frame to retake the lead 6-4. A Hawks run in the top of the fifth closed the gap to 6-5, but that's all the closer CBC could get as the visitors from Pasco dropped the game.
Leyna Downing went the distance in the circle, giving up five runs off eight hits while striking out three Hawks.
Halee Edulblute had the hot stick for BBCC going two-for-three at the plate with a two-run home run, three RBI and two runs scored.

The Vikings got two back in the bottom of the fifth to make a game of it, 6-2. Three runs in the top of the sixth increased the Hawks lead to 9-2.

Adrianna Zamarron went one-for three at the plate for BBCC with a three-run home run and three RBI. Nicole Cameron was hit with the loss for the Vikings.
