Wynton Bernard, Grayson Greiner homer for Erie SeaWolves in win

Columbus Clippers 8, Toledo Mud Hens 4 (box)

The Mud Hens scored four runs in the top of the fourth inning to take a 4-3 lead, but Columbus answered with three runs in the bottom of the inning en route to an 8-4 victory. Toledo starter Chad Bell was responsible for six of those runs in just three innings — he did not retire any of the four batters he faced in the fourth. The outing bumped his season-long ERA up to 4.21. Offensively, the Mud Hens were led by JaCoby Jones, who broke out of a slump with a three-hit game. Jeff McVaney also reached base three times and drove in a run.

Jones: 3-4, 2B, 3B, R
McVaney: 1-2, R, RBI, 2 BB, SB
Huffman: 1-4, 2B, R, 2 SO

Lakeland starter Jeff Thompson was roughed up for five runs (four earned) on seven hits in five innings, resulting in his fourth loss of the season. The Flying Tigers did their best to chip away at the lead, eventually scoring six runs on nine hits. Joey Pankake had three of those, including a two-run home run, his 13th of the season.

Great Lakes Loons 6, West Michigan Whitecaps 2 (F/10) (box)

Leonard Laffita drove in Jose Azocar with a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth inning to tie the score at two, but a disastrous four-run 10th inning from the Whitecaps bullpen cost them a shot a their fifth consecutive win. Reliever Drew Smith was the offender, allowing four runs (three earned) on three hits and a walk for his first loss of the season. Starter Spenser Watkins was solid prior to that, holding Great Lakes to two runs in six innings. Offensively, the Whitecaps only managed seven hits, all singles. Azocar and catcher Arvicent Perez combined for four of those.

Azocar: 2-4, R
Perez: 2-4
Watkins: 6.0 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 3 BB, 3 SO
