Box Score · Clippers fall to 0-1
Despite missing a plethora of players due to a split-squad spring training game, the Columbus Clippers looked to be well on their way to rolling to a 3-0 shutout victory in their season opener when disaster struck in the eighth inning.
After pitching a scoreless seventh frame, Robert Broom came back out for the eighth and proceeded to walk three batters and hit one. Aaron Pinto, who has historically been excellent, was brought in to get out of the mess and he gave up five straight hits.
