The Columbus Clippers scored four runs in the top of the 8^th inning and defeated the Iowa Cubs 9-6 in the series finale Sunday afternoon at Principal Park. The win earned a series split for the Clippers in the six-game set in Des Moines.

In the decisive frame, Johnathan Rodriguez tied the game 6-6 with a run-scoring single, his 25^th RBI of the season. That helped set the stage for Jose Tena, who put the game out of reach with a three-run blast, his third home run of the year.

Will Dion picked up his first win of the season despite surrendering six runs over 3.0 innings of work. Anthony Gose notched his third save of the year by keeping the Cubs off the scoreboard in the 8^th and 9^th innings.
