The Columbus Clippers pulled back within a half-game of the International League lead on Friday night with a 5-3 victory over the visiting Memphis Redbirds. The third win in four tries over Memphis improves the Clippers record to 15-9 in the second half.
Raynel Delgado helped spark the Clippers to an early advantage with a one-run single in the 2nd inning and a two-run single in the 3rd.
Starter Connor Gillispie along with relievers Erik Sabrowski (5-1) and Nick Mikolajchak kept the Redbirds off the scoreboard through 8 innings. Memphis rallied for three runs in the top of the 9th off of Andrew Walters, but Anthony Gose came on to shut the door for his 9th save of the season.
The Clippers and Redbirds will be back at Huntington Park on Saturday for the penultimate game of the series, with fireworks to follow after the game. The first pitch is set for 7:05pm.
