BIRMINGHAM, AL., — The Columbus Clingstones (26-40) blasted their way to an early 4-0 lead with a pair of 2-run home runs in the second inning and rode seven strong innings from Brett Sears to a 5-1 victory over the Birmingham Barons (38-31) Sunday afternoon at Regions Field. Decisive Plays:

CHATTANOOGA, TN., — The Columbus Clingstones (8-11) briefly held a lead in game one after an RBI double from David McCabe in the first inning, but the Chattanooga Lookouts seized control of the game and the day with a four-run frame in the home half to hand Columbus a pair

BILOXI, MS., — The Columbus Clingstones (4-4) jumped out to an early 3-0 lead and held a 5-3 advantage midway through the game, but a five-run third inning by the Biloxi Shuckers (2-7) swung the momentum. A late comeback attempt by the Clingstones fell just short in a 9-8 loss
