Mer Pops Two Homers in 5-4 Win for Columbus
Quick Stop Stadium was the site of a competitive game between the Asheville Boomsticks and Columbus Red Birds.

The Columbus Red Birds downed the Asheville Boomsticks, 5-4. The hitting star was shortstop John Mer. Mer was 3 for 3 with 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice for the Red Birds. The winner in relief was Chris Crawford. The right-hander allowed 4 runs on 6 hits in 6 innings. He now owns a record of 3-0.

Had Ken Schroeder not delivered a key base hit in the top of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 3rd, Schroeder hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 5-4, in favor of the Red Birds.

"We squandered some opportunities," said Asheville manager Jon Papp.

The triumph puts Columbus at 37-28 for the season.
