Game Recap: Columbus leadoff man Brandon Watson extended his hit streak to 40 games in the top of the first, doubling to left field. J.A. Happ, back from the disabled list, weathered an early storm and got out of that first inning unscathed. Ottawa opened the scoring in the bottom of the second when Pedro Swann led off with a double, moved to third base on Joey Hammond's fly ball and scored on Chris Roberson's RBI double. The Clippers took the lead with a pair in the top of the third but the Lynx came back to tie the game with a run in the bottom of the fifth when Gary Burnham clubbed his first home run of the season over the right field fence. Columbus would get the winning run in the top of the seventh to close the scoring and hang a 3-2 loss on the home Lynx.
