Columbus Clippers News Release
COLUMBUS, OH - On a sweltering Sunday afternoon at Huntington Park, the Columbus Clippers knocked off Indianapolis, 8-6. The Columbus triumph sends the visitors home with just two wins in the six-game series.
Indy jumped out to a modest 1-0 lead in the 1st, but the Clippers surged ahead with six runs in the bottom of the 3rd. Christian Cairo tied the game with a RBI single. Brayan Rocchio drove in another on a ground out, after which it appeared the rally might be doomed with two outs. Jhonkensy Noel had other ideas, as he deposited a Bubba Chandler pitch over the left field wall for a three-run homer.
Columbus was far from finished. Will Wilson singled and came around to score on a double by catcher Kody Huff.
The lead grew to 7-1 in the 4th when Milan Tolentino hit his team-best 11th home run of the season.
After Indianapolis scored twice in the top of the 7th, Noel went deep again to make the score 8-3 Clippers. That would be enough to hold off the opponents from Indiana.
The winning pitcher was starter Doug Nikhazy (4-4), who stymied Indy to the tune of one run on six hits over 5.0 innings. He struck out six.
The Clippers conclude the "First Half" with a record of 34-38. Under the structure implemented by Major League Baseball, the standings how reset and Columbus has a fresh chance for a playoff run. In 2024, the Clippers finished 1st amongst the League's 20 teams in the "Second Half".
Columbus opens the "Second Half" with a six-game series on the road against the Iowa Cubs. The next home game at Huntington Park is on Friday, July 4 with a special first pitch time of 4:05pm.
