Bowsers Notch 4-1 Win Versus Aztecs
Joe Giunta pitched a gem to lead Columbus to victory over the Mexico City Aztecs, 4-1. Losses have been few and far between for the Aztecs, now 21-7.

Columbus center fielder Rich Bondo contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the sixth. With two down, he hit a slider to right field for a 2-run single. It was his 25th hit of the season and put the Bowsers ahead, 4-1.

"Nice to put this one in the win column," said Bondo.
