Clippers Rally Late to Nip Bats
The Columbus Clippers picked up a win at Huntington Park, knocking off the Louisville Bats, 7-6. On the mound for Columbus was right-hander Jim Acosta. He played a key role in the triumph. The West Division-leading Clippers are 47-45.

The defining moment came in the bottom of the ninth for Columbus. That's when Mallex Smith hit a run-scoring double off 26-year old right-handed pitcher Micheal Johnston to win the game. The home crowd went wild.

"Enjoyed this one," Smith told the Columbus Today. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
