COLUMBUS, OH - Over 9,200 fans turned out on a beautiful Saturday night for baseball in the Arena District. Unfortunately, it was a rough night for the Clippers as the visiting Omaha Storm Chasers prevailed, 23-7.
It was the most runs ever allowed by the Columbus Clippers, who also surrendered a team-record ten home runs.
The Clippers scored twice early, on ground outs by Jhonkensy Noel in the 1st inning and Kody Huff in the 2nd.
George Valera, who had a cycle one day earlier, hit another triple in his first at-bat Saturday.
George Valera is back at it!
