Breakout Performance for Dayan Frias Wednesday

WORCESTER, MA - The Columbus Clippers got a breakout performance from third baseman Dayan Frias on Wednesday against the WooSox, but dropped the contest 8-5.

Frias had three hits on the afternoon, including a double. The switch-hitter from Colombia also collected a pair of RBI.

Columbus jumped out to an early 3-0 lead. Nolan Jones got the scoring underway with an early RBI single, which was immediately followed with a two-run single off the bat of Kody Huff.

Unfortunately that lead evaporated, and the Clippers didn't score again until Frias knocked in two in the top of the 8th inning, tying the game 5-5.

Right-handed starter Pedro Avila allowed just one run over 3.0 innings while striking out a pair. Lefty Steven Pérez (0-1) was saddled with the loss after giving up three runs in the bottom of the 8th.

The loss Wednesday gives Columbus a record of 7-4 this season, while Worcester improves to 7-3.
