Bowsers Earn Late 3-2 Win
The Columbus Bowsers picked up a win at Wizards Stadium, courtesy of Joe Giunta. The left-hander helped his team stop the Kalamazoo Comets, 3-2. Columbus, at 53-61, sits in 4th place in the Southern A East Division.

Columbus used a timely hit from Joe Cluff to get the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Bowsers ahead, 3-2. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it made an impact.

"There are no moral victories," said losing manager Morgan Van Dyke.
