In the Discoverers’ first game yesterday against Fremont, they used a five-run sixth inning to win 10-9.  Nick Zoucha went 3-for-3 with a home run and three RBI. 

In the quarterfinals against Grand Island, Jarrett Bell’s three-run double in the top of fifth helped Columbus to a 7-4 win.  Quenton Gustafson stroked an RBI triple and scored two runs in the contest.  The Discoverers have won five straight games and are 6-6.
