Clippers, PawSox suspended by rain

Weather almost cost the Clippers a chance at victory Sunday, but they scored a pair of runs just in time to force a suspension of the final game in their four-game set at Pawtucket.

Columbus holds a 4-3 lead, thanks to two runs in the top of the sixth inning (scored courtesy of a ground out and a bases-loaded walk). The game will be resumed when the PawSox visit Huntington Park in late July.

Had the Clippers not tied the game or taken a lead, they would've simply been dealt a rain-shortened loss, as heavy showers hit one at-bat after Columbus pulled ahead. They'll have the bases-loaded with two outs in the top of the sixth when play resumes.

Josh Rodriguez' two-run homer in the third put the Clippers ahead early, but the PawSox answered with single runs in the third, fourth and fifth innings against Carlos Carrasco to take the lead.

So the Clippers remain at 41-29 on the season as they head to Rochester for a four-game series starting at 7:05 Monday night.
