Ron Walker was instrumental in his team's 4-3 triumph over the Norfolk Tides. The second baseman went 2-4 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Columbus Clippers. Rémi Blondel picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 4-0. Al Rucker, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the 2022 draft, was tagged with the loss. The first-place Clippers have won 5 consecutive games.

Early in the game, Walker had a 3-run home run for Columbus. It was his 4th home run of the season and put the Clippers on top, 4-1.

"Ron raked," said Columbus manager Carlos Garcia.
