Atlanta right fielder Matt Grissom had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Grissom went 2-3 with a home run and 2 walks. He drove in 4 runs and scored once, even as Columbus beat the Aggies, 8-7. Joey Byler notched his 20th save in 24 chances. The Bowsers improved to 55-72.

Dennis Brent drew 1 walk for Columbus. The 24-year old second baseman had a key at-bat in the top of the fifth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 6-6 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Tyler Murphy. It was his 34th RBI of the season.

"It was a solid team effort and we'll try to keep this momentum going," Brent told reporters after the game.
