George Valera carted off in Columbus, Lake County wins first playoff game

Box Score · Clippers fall to 72-65

Columbus starting pitcher Will Dion got absolutely obliterated in this one. Dion was tattooed for six runs on six hits with three walks and two strikeouts in just 2 23 innings. Nick Mikolajchak allowed one additional run in 1 13 innings of relief.

The surprise of this game was Triston McKenzie. Appearing in a piggy-back role, McKenzie came out of the bullpen and absolutely dominated. He struck out four, allowing one walk and one hit in three scoreless innings of long relief.
