BILOXI, MS. - David McCabe drilled a pair of three-run home runs and drove in seven runs in an offensive showcase that drove the Columbus Clingstones (20-21, 46-61) to a 9-5 win over the Biloxi Shuckers (18-23, 60-50) on Wednesday night at Keesler Federal Park.

Decisive Plays: McCabe opened the scoring for the second-straight night game with an RBI double in the first inning. Biloxi tied the game on a wild pitch in the first inning. An RBI fielder's choice from Patrick Clohisy gave the Clingstones the lead back in the second inning and Columbus added to it with an RBI double from Jim Jarvis. A three-run blast (8) from McCabe shot Columbus out to a 6-1 lead. In his next at bat in the fourth inning, McCabe drilled another three-run home run (9) to give Columbus a 9-1 lead. Biloxi would score the next four runs but never threaten Columbus the rest of the way.

Key Contributors: McCabe (3-for-4, 2B, 2 HR, 7 RBI) headlined the night while Clohisy (2-for-5, RBI, SB) and Jarvis (2-for-5, 2B, RBI) added offense for Columbus. For Biloxi, Blake Burke (1-for-4, 2B, 2 RBI) cut the deficit to four runs with a two-run double in the fifth inning.
