Columbus Clippers 10, Worcester Red Sox 1
Box Score · Clippers improve to 8-7
The Columbus offense just keeps on rolling as the team hit double digit runs for the fourth time in its last six games.
The Clippers had several players spread out the wealth, but Bo Naylor and Jhonkensy Noel both had big days. Noel was particularly ferocious, going 3-5 with two doubles and a home run. After a slow start to the season, he’s really been catching fire lately.
Big day for #Guardians 21yr old OF prospect Jhonkensy Noel who collected 3 XBH (3-5 2R 2(2B) HR 3RBI) including his 3rd HR of the season for Triple-A Columbus! Noel has been outstanding since his 0-18 start to the season.

Bo Naylor also went yard and walked. He’s maintained an elite .945 OPS to begin the campaign. Just take a look at this majestic blast from yesterday.

Zach Collins, Richard Palacios, and Daniel Schneemann all went 2-5, with Palacios and Schneemann racking up a double. Brayan Rocchio also walked and doubled.
Starting pitcher Logan Allen was sensational, striking out nine in 4.2 innings while allowing just one run on five hits with one walk. After a rough transition to Triple-A last season, he’s begun 2023 with three straight strong starts with Columbus.
Interesting day for Logan Allen's sweeper.

He threw 21, only 6 times did a batter offer at the pitch. But all 6 times they did, it was a whiff.
Allen's best pitch out of college was his changeup (split-change) and he's really gone more to the sweeper. pic.twitter.com/SafGE7LLlE
Touki Toussant also closed the game out with 3.0 scoreless innings of relief to earn a save. Not bad at all.
Akron RubberDucks 4 Bowie Baysox 2 (F/10)

Angel Martinez was the standout offensively Sunday for Akron, going 2-4 with a solo home run, which tied the game in the seventh inning.
