The Clippers tagged former decent big league starter Spencer Turnbull for five runs, including a home run from Johnathan Rodriguez. Christian Cairo added a homer and a double and Cooper Ingle also homered.

Ryan Webb pitched quite well, going seven innings, giving up one unearned run, two hits, two walks and striking out seven.
I believe this is what they call a donnybrook with the teams putting up a combined 29 hits and 12 walks. No one pitched particularly well in this game, so it’ll be one for Hillcats’ starter Joey Oakie (4.1 innings, 6 hits, 5 runs, 2 walks, and 4 K’s) to grow on.
Dauri Fernandez had three hits including a homer for Lynchburg, Schubart went 2 for 3 with a homer, and Riley Nelson also had 2 hits. Lynchburg will try again to secure the Carolina League title tonight with Melkis Hernandez on the mound at 7:05PM EDT.
