Six Tribe HR's Power 15-5 Win in Columbus
COLUMBUS, OH -- The Indianapolis Indians (55-47) homered six times, one shy of the all-time Victory Field era (1996) record, and pounded out 18 hits to dispatch the Columbus Clippers (54-48) 15-5 on Saturday night at Huntington Park.
Robert Andino (4-for-6) and Andrew Lambo (4-for-4) both launched two home runs as part of their four-hit nights, while Dean Anna (4-for-5) chipped in a solo shot during his own four-knock effort. Chris McGuiness also lifted a two-run bomb with his lone knock of the game to cap the longball barrage.
The Indians also fell just one homer shy of the Victory Field record for most home runs in an inning with three dingers in tonight's opening frame. Andino deposited a lead-off homer over the left field wall, Lambo crushed a three-run bomb to right and Chris McGuiness added a two-run blast to give the Indians a 6-0 lead.
Lambo then went deep with a solo shot in the third before Andino followed suit in the fourth for their respective career high-tying home run performances.
Starter Nick Kingham (4-1) allowed just three earned runs (four total) on six hits in six innings to pick up his fourth win in his last six starts.
