COLUMBIA 3, ROME 1: P.J. Conlon produced his third scoreless outing of the season. He struck out seven batters over 6 2/3 innings and improved to a league-best 6-0 with a 1.04 ERA. The teams combined for two hits through five innings, but Rome starter Mike Soroka faltered in the sixth. Jose Garcia and Vicente Lupo opened the frame with consecutive singles. Vinny Siena’s sacrifice bunt advanced both baserunners. J.C. Rodriguez then tapped a roller up the first-base line, which was fielded by Soroka. He flipped the baseball to first base to retire Rodriguez, but Garcia scored. David Thompson and Dash Winningham then drilled back-to-back run-scoring extra-base hits as Columbia took a 3-0 lead. Conlon departed in the seventh with the bases loaded and two outs. Ty Bashlor entered and struck out Bradley Keller. Alex Palsha faced the same situation in the eighth, entering with the bases loaded. Palsha induced a fly ball from Jonathan Morales. Ray-Patrick Didder tagged and scored for Rome's first run, but left fielder Vicente Lupo doubled off Luke Dykstra, who crept too far from second base. Box
