COLUMBUS – Ernie Clement’s RBI double broke a 2-2 tie in the eighth inning and the Clippers beat the Rochester Red Wings at Huntington Park Sunday, earning a sweep of the six-game series.
Clements was responsible for all of the scoring for Columbus, knocking in Will Brennan with the game’s first run with a single in the fourth and then scoring later in the inning on triple by Trenton Brooks.
Nic Enright (3-0) gave up game-tying solo home run to Andrew Stevenson in the eighth but got the win while Anthony Castro struck out the Red Wings’ final three hitters to pick up his third save of the season.
