Raynel Delgado smacked his seventh home run of the year in the eighth inning which tied the game at 1-1.
Tim Herrin (6-2) worked a scoreless top of the ninth inning, striking out two. Kyle Manzardo led off the bottom half of the ninth inning with a double, he moved over to third on a Jhonkensy Noel groundout, then scored the game-winning run on a Johnathan Rodriguez groundout to short. Veleros pick up the 2-1 win and take a 2-1 lead in the series with Scranton Wilkes-Barre. Columbus has won five of their past six games.
The series continues Friday night at Huntington Park as los Veleros transform back into the Clippers and face the RailRiders at 7:05pm. Gates will open at 6:00pm.
