Bowsers Squeeze By Poplar Bluff, 7-6
Poplar Bluff got a terrific game from center fielder Kevin Spotts. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Columbus, 7-6. Spotts was 3 for 3 with 3 singles and 3 walks. He scored 2 runs. Alex Avila collected his 7th save. Poplar Bluff has now lost 4 consecutive games.

An inflection point occurred with two out in the top of the eighth. That's when Bowsers pinch hitter David Villanueva hit a fastball from Jim Unknown for a 2-run single. Just like that, Columbus was up, 7-6.

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