In Allentown, Jason Donald returned to Lehigh Valley with Columbus and had a double in 5 at bats in the Clippers' 6-3 win over the IronPigs in what could be a playoff preview. Tyson Brummett (1-4) started for Lehigh Valley, going just 4.2 innings, allowing 4 runs on 4 hits and 4 walks.

In Huntsville, Will Savage made another impressive start for Chattanooga, going 6 innings against the Stars, and allowing just 1 run on 4 hits, NO walks, leaving the game with a 2-1 advantage.
