COLUMBUS, GA., — The Columbus Clingstones (22-24, 48-64) fell in an early 3-0 hole and lacked the timely hitting to battle back in a 3-0 shutout loss to the Pensacola Blue Wahoos (25-20, 59-55) on Tuesday night at Synovus Park.

The bullpen of Tyler LaPorte, LJ McDonough, and Elison Joseph combined to pitch 4.0 perfect innings with six strikeouts. For Pensacola, Ignoffo (1-for-2, 2B, RBI) and Coley II (2-for-4, HR, 2 RBI) and starter Alex Williams (5.0 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 SO) drove the Wahoos performance on both sides.
