In a tense match between the Columbus Clingstones and the Birmingham Barons, the pitching duel was led by Barons' Jake Palisch, who dominated until the seventh inning when the Clingstones scored two runs. Despite the Barons getting hits, they failed to score, dropping their record below .500. Meanwhile, the Winston-Salem Dash lost to the Bowling Green Hot Rods after a rain delay affected their performance. Starter Seth Keener's struggles early on allowed the Hot Rods to stay ahead and secure their win.
Through five flawless frames, not a single Columbus batter could find purchase against the 26-year-old. Palisch passed the baton to Jordan Mikel in the bottom of the sixth.
Keener was hit in the top of the first inning, surrendering a two-run blast that quickly put Bowling Green ahead.
A costly two-out walk came full circle to haunt him as the runner advanced on a stolen base, moved up on a wild pitch.
Despite peppering the Columbus hurlers with seven singles throughout the night, the Barons' offense simply couldn't string them together to manufacture any runs.
