If you showed up for just the tenth inning of the Columbus Clippers game at Buffalo Sunday, you would have seen all of the runs that were scored in the Clippers’ 7-3 win. Before that, eight pitchers (four on each side) combined to blank the other team, leading to a rare 0-0 tie going into extra innings.

During the first nine innings, the hurlers on both sides combined to permit no runs on six hits. The only hit allowed in that time by Columbus came during Aaron Davenport’s 4.2 innings of work after relieving starter Joey Cantillo, who tossed two hitless innings. Luis Frías and Zak Kent followed Davenport with 2.1 innings of hitless relief.

What the first nine innings brought to the afternoon’s zeitgeist came to a screeching halt in bonus time. The Clippers scored seven times in the top of the tenth without any single player having more than one RBI. Columbus’s six hits in the inning, along with a Buffalo throwing error, allowed the Clippers to take a 7-0 lead.

The Bisons were able to plate three in the bottom of the tenth, but Parker Mushinski worked himself out of the jam, striking Leo Jiménez to end the game at 7-3. Kent (2-2) earned the win and the Clippers took the series four games to two in Buffalo. It follows their series win at home last week against Toledo.

Columbus has the day off Monday before beginning a six-game set Tuesday against Indianapolis at Huntington Park. Doug Nikhazy (3-3, 4.79) will take the mound for the Clippers in Tuesday’s contest, which begins at 7:05 p.m.
