Indianapolis Indians News Release


COLUMBUS, OHIO - The Indianapolis Indians held a 4-0 lead in the sixth inning, but the Columbus Clippers scored eight runs in the bottom of the frame to roll to a 10-4 victory over the Tribe on Saturday night.

Jordan Luplow put Indianapolis (35-31) on top with a solo home run in the top of the second inning. It was Luplow's sixth long ball of the season.

The score remained 1-0 until the fateful sixth inning. The frame started out well for Indy, as Kevin Kramer clubbed a three-run homer over the right-field wall. It landed in the parking lot across the street and gave the Tribe a 4-0 lead.

Columbus' (34-32) rally began with a lead-off walk to Drew Maggi in the sixth. Following a single and hit batter, Francisco Mejia stepped in with the bases loaded and blasted a grand slam to right-center field that tied the game. Mike Papi then walked and would later score on an error to put Columbus ahead for good. The inning was capped by Drew Maggi's two-run single.

Shao-Ching Chiang (2-0) worked seven innings for the Clippers to earn the victory. Johnny Hellweg (1-1) took the loss out of the Tribe bullpen.

Indy will conclude the brief road trip on Sunday afternoon, first pitch on Father's Day is set for 2:05 p.m. The Indians return to Victory Field on Tuesday night to open a six-game homestand.
