Columbus trailed 2-0 early, but fought to tie things up. Kahlil Watson singled in a run in the 4th inning to cut the lead in half, and the Clippers tied it in the 6th when a run came home on a groundout by Milan Tolentino.
Columbus took the lead in the bottom of the 8th when Kody Huff hit a RBI single, but Indy tied it back up in the top of the 9th. It was then that Cleveland's top prospect chose to hit his first career homer at the Triple-A level.
Right-handed starter Aaron Davenport was impressive over 6.2 innings, holding the visitors to two runs while striking out four. The win went to reliever Trevor Stephan.
