COLUMBUS, OH - Columbus Clippers fans were treated to a special appearance on Tansky Tuesday Dime-A-Dog Night, as Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback Julian Sayin was on hand to root on the local team. Sayin tossed out a ceremonial first pitch before Tuesday's game between the Clippers and Iowa, which was won by the Cubs, 8-1.

15,029 hot dogs met their demise at Huntington Park on the evening.

Tuesday marked the return of first baseman C.J. Kayfus from Cleveland, who remains one of the organization's top prospects. He went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles.

The lone Columbus tally was strangely enough scored by Petey Halpin on a balk in the 1st inning, the result of a disengagement violation on the Iowa pitcher.

Right-hander Pedro Avila (0-1) made the start for Andy Tracy's club. He suffered the defeat despite striking out eight men over 3.2 innings of work.

The loss drops Columbus to an even 8-8 on the season, while Iowa improves to 9-6.

The Clippers and Cubs continue the series on $5 Wednesday - fans can see Wednesday's game for just five bucks. First pitch is scheduled for 6:15pm. It's a week full of special promotions and ticket offers. Fans can purchase tickets at ClippersBaseball.com.
