The Pigs took an early 1-0 lead in the top of the first with Taylor Featherston's solo shot off of Columbus starter Will Roberts. The home run was Featherston's (2-4, 2B, HR, RBI, R) third of the season.

In the bottom of the fourth, an error charged to Pigs 1B Tommy Joseph, a single and a two-out walk loaded the bases for the Clippers before Ronny Rodriguez's grand slam off of IronPigs starter Jake Thompson gave the hosts a 4-1 lead.

Columbus extended the lead to 5-1 in the sixth with a solo shot from Guillermo Quiroz off of RHP Severino Gonzalez (2.0 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 K).

A pair of runs in the seventh opened up a 7-1 lead for the Clippers as Jesus Aguilar knocked home a run with an RBI single and Robbie Grossman drove home a run via an RBI groundout.

RHP Luis Garcia (1.0 IP, K) had a scoreless outing in relief for manager Dave Brundage's squad.
