COLUMBUS, OH – After an early afternoon rain delay on Thursday, the Columbus Clippers resumed their suspended game against Indianapolis from the previous evening and ultimately won, 8-7. The regularly scheduled game did not go as planned, with the Clippers blowing a six-run lead to fall 8-6.
In the resumption of Wednesday's suspended game, the Clippers broke a 7-7 tie in the 6th inning when Jhonkensy Noel delivered a go-ahead RBI single.
In the top of the 9th, with two men on for Indy and the Clippers clinging to a one-run lead, left fielder Chase DeLauter made a game-saving catch that preserved the Game 1 victory and officially knocked Indianapolis out of the first half pennant chase.
