I have not posted much lately but I have been listening almost daily to games.

Columbus Clippers(54-45) Cleveland 5 Syracuse Chiefs (34-64) Washington

Columbus has taken over first place since the last time I posted on them.
Yesterday the Clippers eked out a one run win over a poor Syracuse squad.
Columbus scored the winning run in the eighth inning, on a Michael Martinez single to center field.Since joining the Clippers, Martinez has five RBI.

The Chiefs took a 2-0 lead, in their half of the third inning.
Michael Almanza singled with one out.
Andrew Stevenson blast his 2nd bomb of the season, a two run shot.That would be the only hit for Stevenson, in his five trips to the plate.

The Clippers responded with four of their own, in the bottom of the fourth.
Ronny Rodriguez singled, a infield hit to shortstop. Ronnie Rod has to be getting some interest from the Indians front office. He is very solid and plays multiple positions and plays them all well. Rodriguez steals (8) 2nd base.

Michael Martinez walked to out two on, with just one out.
Both runners took off and both were safe. Stolen base 9 for Ronnie Rod and number 1 for Martinez.

Adam Moore homers (6), a three run shot to put the Clippers up 3-2.
Tyler Naquin homers (7) and this had become a 4-2 Columbus lead.

Syracuse scored two in the sixth to lock things back up at four.
The first run came on a homer by,Clint Robinson homers (14),
Clippers starter, and my favorite Columbus pitcher, Jarrett Grube was pulled one batter later, after giving up a single to,Brandon Snyder.
Grube was replace by Shawn Armstrong, who gave up back to back walks to load the bases. The tying run scored on a force out by,Michael Almanzar.

Kyle Crockett (W, 5-3)
Sammy Solis (L, 1-3)
Louis Head (S, 4)
