The Walkers blew the game open by scoring all of their runs in the bottom of the fourth off Columbus starter Chris D'Alessandio and reliever Alex Lange.

Rookie Ben Thompson hit a grand slam, if D'Alessandio while Jordan Groshans greeted Lange with a three-run homer.
Steve Rossi also had an RBI single, it coming off D'Allessandrio.
