*If Necessary
There will be no International League division title celebration for the Clippers, but they are headed to the playoffs either way after their 5-2 loss to Toledo.
Corey Kluber went five innings and gave up three runs off six hits and four walks with four strikeouts. Saul Rivera gave up two more runs in two innings.
Both runs were knocked in by Zeke Carrera who had two hits on the night, a two-run home run, his first as a Clipper and the season.
Akron finished the season with a win and a .500 record after they downed Erie 9-2, just like they've done most of the time this season.
Jordan Henry, Jason Kipnis, and Lonnie Chisenhall led the charge. Henry stole his 15th base, scored twice and had two hits, while Kipnis hit a solo home run, had three hits, scored twice and knocked in three runs. Chisenhall also had two hits and three RBI.
Juan Apodada hit a three run home run and Ron Rivas, the spectacular one, not only had two hits, but he didn't commit an error.
The win went to Alex Kaminsky, up from Mahoning Valley to help provide arms with Rob Bryson starting. Bryson finished off his Akron season with 3.2 innings, one run off two hits and five strikeouts. Kaminsky went three scoreless and struck out two.
Despite scoring five runs to rocket past Potomac in the top of the ninth, Kinston fell short of finishing the regular season off with a win.
Kinston was down 5-1 going into the eighth inning. After a run in the eighth and five more in the ninth, the K-Tribe was up 6-5. With Cory Burns not available, Kinston's Matt Langwell and Tyler Sturdevant gave up the lead. Brian Grening was hit big with four runs off four hits and three walks in three innings. Dave Roberts got the start and went four innings, giving up one run off four hits.
Bo Greenwell was finally stopped, going 0-for-5, but Kyle Bellows had three hits, Jeremie Tice had two and a RBI. Karexon Sanchez, JT Toole and Donnie Webb also knocked in runs, with Webb scoring twice and collecting three hits.
Oh and how about that no hitter?
Not the greatest of endings for the Captains on Monday as they were splattered against the windshield by the Lugnuts, 11-0.
Trey Haley gave up three runs off three walks and two hits in the first, not being able to record the final out. Mike Rayl gave up four runs in three and a third and the bullpen just kind of continued on from there.
Hopefully the Caps don't make that a bad habit for the playoffs.
