Columbus Clingstones News Release


CHATTANOOGA, TN., - The Columbus Clingstones (8-8) took an early 3-0 lead and kept the Chattanooga Lookouts (6-10) in the rearview mirror until storms came in the seventh inning, forcing the game to be called early and handing Columbus a 6-4 rain-shortened win on Wednesday night.

Decisive Plays: RBI singles by David McCabe and Chandler Seagle, along with an RBI double by Drew Compton, handed the Clingstones a 3-0 lead in the first inning. Chattanooga scored twice in the second inning with an RBI groundout from Jack Rogers and an RBI single from Cade Hunter. Columbus seized a 6-2 lead with a three-run fifth inning after three-straight RBI singles from Compton, Seagle, and Ethan Workinger. The Lookouts got within two runs in the sixth inning after a wild pitch from Clingstones starter Lucas Braun and a fielding error. With the bases loaded for the Clingstones in the seventh, the skies opened, and persistent rain prevented the resumption of play, giving Columbus a 6-4 victory.

Key Contributors: Compton (3-for-4, 2B, 2 RBI) and Seagle (2-for-3, 2 RBI) led the way for Columbus offensively. For Chattanooga, both Rogers and Hunter recorded an RBI.
