The Columbus Clippers faced a tough opponent in Asheville pitcher Orel Hershiser, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Torrance Grounds by a final score of 4-3. Hershiser went 7 innings and allowed 1 earned run. The Clippers, at 52-55, sit in 4th place in the Atlantic Northeast.

The game was at a stalemate until center fielder Miguel Mejia came to bat in the top of the ninth. Facing Asheville pitcher Jeff Juden, he hit a 1-0 slider for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Columbus on top, 4-3.

"Say want you want about this team, they play nine innings hard," said Columbus manager .
