Game Story

COLUMBUS, Ohio (Ticker) -- Juan Rivera had two hits and drove
in a pair of runs to lead the Columbus Clippers past the
Charlotte Knights, 6-2. Rivera hit an RBI double and scored in
his first inning and added an run-scoring groundout in the sixth
to give Columbus a 5-2 lead. Bobby Smith doubled in a run in
the first frame and Drew Henson, who has driven in a run in four
straight games, crushed a two-out homer in the fifth for the
Clippers, who have won seven of their last 10 games. Jorge De
Paula (3-4) allowed two runs, scattered five hits and struck out
four batters in six innings to earn the win and Adrian
Hernandez fanned three over three innings of one-hit ball to
pick up his first save. Ross Gload had a pair of hits, including
a solo homer, and Joe Borchard added an RBI for Charlotte,
which has lost six straight. Mike Porzio (4-1) surrendered five
runs, eight hits and issued five walks in 5 1/3 innings to
suffer the loss for the Knights.
