Clippers 6, Tides 5 (13): Beau Mills' bases-loaded, pinch-hit single with none out in the bottom of the 13th scored Shelley Duncan for host Columbus against Norfolk (Va.).

Duncan led off with a walk, stole second and advanced to third on a throwing error by Tides catcher John Hester. 1B Nick Johnson (.210) and 3B Jared Goedert (.209) were intentionally walked by Josh Rupe to load the bases before Mills (.167), recently promoted from Akron, came through with the walk-off hit.

2B Cord Phelps (.294), LF Jerad Head (.280) and Goedert homered for the Clippers. LH Nick Hagadone (4-1, 3.71 ERA) earned the victory with three innings of scoreless relief.

AA Akron Aeros

SeaWolves 5, Aeros 1: Akron C Michel Hernandez (.480) broke the host Aeros' 26-inning scoreless streak with a run-scoring single, but the Aeros lost the finale of a four-game series against Erie (Pa.). The Aeros (55-54) lost three of four to the SeaWolves (51-57) and lost the season series.

LH T.J. McFarland (7-6, 4.09) took the loss for Akron. He gave up four runs on seven hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out five.

Advanced A Kinston Indians

Blue Rocks 5, Indians 2: RH Brett Brach (6-8, 3.34) allowed three runs -- two earned-- in seven innings, but Kinston lost in Wilmington, Del. SS Casey Frawley (.206) and LF Jordan Casas (.500) each had two hits for the K-Tribe.

A Lake County Captains

Lugnuts 10, Captains 6: LF Brian Heere (.267) had three hits, including a three-run double, but Lake County could not overcome four errors and nine walks as host Lansing (Mich.) triumphed. The loss snapped a six-game win streak for the Captains.

The Lugnuts took a 6-0 lead, but Heere's bases-clearing shot to right-center got Lake County to within 7-5 in the fifth inning. A sacrifice fly by CF Luigi Rodriguez (.300) in the sixth plated RF Carlos Moncrief (.245) to cut the margin to one before Lansing pulled away.

A Mahoning Valley Scrappers

Scrappers 1, IronBirds 0: CF Cody Elliott's eighth-inning sacrifice fly scored 2B Todd Hankins, and LH Danny Jimenez and RH Cody Allen combined for a six-hit shutout of host Aberdeen (Md.). Jimenez (2.79) allowed six hits and one walk in 6 innings. He struck out two. Allen (3-1, 2.27) struck out three in 21/3 perfect innings of relief.

Heck of a game for Luigi Rodriguez in CF. He made three errors; Ron Rodriguez added one. Cole Cook walked 5, allowed 6 hits, 7 runs, 5 earned in 4 entertaining innings. Urshela with 2 doubles, Moncrief a triple

Arizona team lost 3-2 despite 2 hits each by 2b Ramirez and ss Martinez. Robbie Aviles 2 innigs, 2 unearned runs, 3 K, no walks. He's a 19-year old 6-4 200 who got cheap in 2010 after an injury pushed him down in the draft; very good prospect. 21 year old 5-11 Moisses Ramirez followed with 5 3-hit no-walk shutout innings.

4 hits enough for Scrappers in 1-0 victory. C's Lowery and Lavisky both hitless. 3B Smith still out. Danny Jiminez solid 6 2/3 6 hits, 1 walk, no runs, but only 2K. Cody Allen retires all 7, fanning 3.

Kinston box score. Nothing here besides what PD notes above.

Aeros uninteresting box.

Germano not perfect on Sunday. 4 2/3 innings, 11 hits, 5 runs. But 8 1/3 shutout innings by Espino. Putnam, Judy and Hagadone followed. That game winning hit by Beau Mills lifited his AAA average to 160.

Not sure where Aeros are going to come up with 5 starters the rest of the way. TJ McFarland, Austin Adams and Matt Packer remain. They could reconvert Eric Berger. No one in Kinston who deserves a promotion. Paolo Espino could be sent back down from Columbus. delaCruz is still on the DL. I note Jeremy Sowers is also listed on the Akron DL.

No one left on our minor league teams, but then won 4 of 4 last night regardless.
