COLUMBUS, OH – It was Dime-A-Dog Night and 10,599 fans filled Huntington Park to root on the Columbus Clippers as they faced the Louisville Bats, the Triple-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds. The dogs were delicious (all 19,000 of them) but sadly the Clippers fell, 11-6.
The Bats jumped out to an early 3-0 lead. The Clippers began mounting a comeback in the bottom of the 3rd when Petey Halpin doubled on a sharp line drive to left field.
