The Columbus Clippers jumped out to an early 3-run lead tonight and hit the visiting Pawtucket Red Sox’s pitching staff hard all night en route to a 4-1 victory.

Jorge Padilla, who went 3-4 with a double, started off the bottom of the first with a single on a line drive to right field.  Roger Bernadina followed with a single and reached second on a fielding error by Red Sox CF Sean Danielson, allowing Padilla to score.  Red Sox starter Michael Bowden’s early troubles continued as Bernadina was then knocked in by Luis Antonia Jimenez who notched a double.

A third run was added in the bottom of the second after Leonard Davis started the inning with a ground-rule double.

The Clippers offense hit up the Red Sox pitching staff for a total of 11 hits - only Yurendell de Caster and Luke Montz failing to hit safely.

Garret Mock pitched a solid 7 innings and earned his 6th win of the season as he gave up one unearned run while notching 6 strikeouts.

Chris Schroder struck out two of the three batters he faced to record the save.

Picture: C Luke Montz had a tough time getting anything going.  He was 0-4 with 2 strikeouts and 5 runners LOB.
