The Mud Hens lost their final regular season to the Clippers 4-3 and it was a late inning meltdown that saw Columbus score two in the eighth and two in the ninth.  Chris Lampert, the player to be named later in the Mike Maroth trade, threw six shutout innings in which he struck out ten.  Then Aquilino Lopez gave up two unearned runs in the top of the ninth as the Clippers completed their comeback.

Chris Shelton belted a two run homer, his fourteenth of the season.  Michael Hollimon had his best game since he joined the Mud Hens and he went two for four with a triple and a run.
