Columbia beat South Beach on the strength of starter Manuel Sánchez's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a 4-2 win. The winning pitcher was Sánchez, now 4-2. He tossed 5.1 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 2 and fanning 2. Picking up the save was Sergio Puente, his 2nd.

Also making an impact was shortstop Víctor Hernández, who drilled a 2-run single in the top of the second for Columbia. For the game, Hernández went 1 for 4. He drove in 2 runs.

"If I do my job, we've usually got a pretty good chance to win the game," said Sánchez.

Columbia has a 3-game win streak, while South Beach has lost 3 in a row.
