Casey Lifts Suns to 12-5 Win
The Jacksonville Suns knocked off the Columbus Clippers, 12-5, at Mules Ballpark. Sean Casey, who captured player of the game honors, was a big reason Jacksonville won. The designated hitter went 4 for 5 with a home run, 2 doubles, and was hit by a pitch. He scored 4 times and drove in 2. Clint Sodowsky got the win, improving to 2-2. He held the Clippers to 2 earned runs on 3 hits over 7 innings, while striking out 3 and walking 1. Jacksonville, at 18-20, sits in 5th place in the Atlantic Southeast.

With one out in the bottom of the eighth, Wendell Magee had a chance to do some damage. Columbus was trailing 12-4, but had the bases loaded. Magee came to the plate against Jack McDowell, and hit a sacrifice fly. But it was not enough to complete a Columbus comeback.
