Columbus Clippers News Release


COLUMBUS, OH - Over 9,300 fans were at Huntington Park on a beautiful Friday night as the Columbus Clippers fell to the visiting Omaha Storm Chasers, 11-2.

Friday marked the return to the starting lineup of outfielder Petey Halpin after 18 games with the Guardians, and he found a way to contribute by singling in the first run for Columbus in the 4th. That tied the game at 1-1, but Omaha exploded for six runs in the top of the 5th to surge ahead for good. Halpin would finish the evening 1-for-3 with a walk and a RBI.

LHP Ryan Webb (1-5) allowed four runs over 4.1 innings, walking six sand striking out four.

First baseman Kody Huff provided a late offensive highlight when he launched his eighth long ball of the season.

The defeat puts the Clippers at 33-27 on the season, while the Storm Chasers improve to 28-32.
