Nightmare of Errors Doomed Mexico Legion to Loss at Columbia
Mexico Legion blew a 3-1 lead as a string of infield errors and wild throws helped Columbia rally to a 5-3 victory. Key miscues late in the game allowed Columbia to seize the lead, with Stewart scoring on a series of plays and Whitesides driving in the go ahead run. Mexico falls to 12-8 overall, 2-1 in league play, and visits Quincy Saturday before hosting Jefferson City Sunday night at Green Field.
