Clippers Rebuff Firebirds, 2-1
The Columbus Clippers picked up a win at Huntington Park, topping the Gwinnett Firebirds, 2-1. On the mound for Columbus was right-hander Jim Acosta. He played a principal role in the triumph. Acosta picked up the win for Columbus, going 7.2 innings. He gave up 1 run on 5 hits. He now sports a record of 4-4. Rémi Blondel closed out the game, earning his 8th save.

Hugues Bertolucci had a big solo home run for the Clippers in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Columbus leading 1-0 and the bases empty, he got a cutter from Joe Lane and swatted a home run to right-center. It was his 1st home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Clippers ahead, 2-0.

"Tough loss," said Gwinnett manager Jason Bourgeois. "This one will sting for a while."

Columbus has now won 3 in a row.
