COLUMBUS, OH - The Columbus Clippers woke up early for day baseball on Wednesday at Toledo, where they defeated the host Mud Hens, 6-3. The Clippers took the lead early on and never relinquished it, evening the series with their in-state rivals at one game apiece.
Angel Genao continued to show how quickly he has adjusted to life at Minor League Baseball's top level, going 1-for-3 on Wednesday with a RBI and two runs scored. He also stole a base.
Cooper Ingle and Kody Huff each chipped in a pair of RBI along the way.
Left-handed hurler Kolby Allard (1-0) was victorious in his first decision since joining the Columbus roster. He allowed just two hits over 5.0 scoreless innings on Wednesday, striking out five batters in the process. Righty Franco Aleman notched his fourth save by keeping the Mud Hens off the board in the 9th inning.
With the victory, the Clippers improve to 27-25 overall on the season, while the Mud Hens find themselves with a record of 26-27.
