Columbus Clippers News Release
COLUMBUS, OH - The Columbus Clippers came up short Sunday in the series finale against the Toledo Mud Hens, losing by a score of 11-9. Overall though the Clippers took four games out of six versus their in-state rivals this week at Huntington Park.
Columbus trailed from the get-go Sunday, finding themselves down 4-0 after the 1st inning. Then in the 3rd, Chase DeLauter laced a run-scoring single up the middle to get the Clippers on the board. One batter later, Kody Huff cleared the bases with a 3-RBI double to dramatically tie things up.
The lead was short-lived. Toledo's Gage Workman clubbed a three-run homer in the top of the 4th, but the Clippers weren't going to go down without a fight.
