The Bulls pitching was spotty, but they got just enough offense to pick up the win over the Clippers.  The final was 9-8 but some late runs by Columbus turned this game into a tight one.  Joel Guzman and Shawn Riggans each hit three run.  Jorge Cantu also had a nice game with three hits and three runs.

Jason Hammel had a rough start and he gave up five runs on six hits and five walks with three strikeouts in four innings.  Tim Corcoran picked up the win with three shutout frames.

The Durham Bulls got an outstanding performance from starter Jason Hammel but the pen let the game slip away in the final frames.  Hammel threw five no-hit innings and he struck out five.  The no-hitter was carried through the eighth inning when Syracuse finally started scoring runs.

Jorge Cantu tripled while Chris Richard singled and drove in the lone Bulls run in the 2-1 loss.  In all, the Bulls were held to just three hits.
