Joel Guzman was the hitting star.  He went two for five with a homerun and three RBIs.

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.
