The Columbus softball team defeated Northside 5-0 to claim its first Class AAA state title Saturday at South Commons.
Blue Devils pitcher Chandler Padgett picked up her fourth win in three days. She did not allow a run through each of the four Elite Eight games Columbus played.
Columbus took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the fourth after an overthrow to first base allowed in Amanda Stucky, and a Daniella Glover single carried in another.
