•HIGHLIGHTS: Jeff Bailey launched his 21st and 22nd home run of the season, Keith Ginter went 2-for-3 with two doubles and two RBI, and George Kottaras hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the sixth inning to power a 13-hit attack by the International League-leading PawSox (47-31), who pulled out an 8-6, 10-inning come-from-behind victory over Columbus (41-34).

Trailing by 6-4 after Larry Broadway crushed a grand slam in the top of the seventh inning, Pawtucket answered with two runs in the bottom of the frame — a solo home run by Bailey and an RBI double by Ginter — before Jonathan Van Every brought the crowd of 9,346 to its feet when he hit a game-winning two-run homer over the fence in right field.

Pawtucket designated hitter George Kottaras snapped a 2-2 tie in the bottom of the sixth with a two-run homer over the right-field fence that gave Pawtucket a 4-2 lead. Alex Escobar had tied the game at 2-2 for Columbus in the top of the sixth when he belted a two-run homer. Bailey led off the game by slugging his 21st home run of the season, on the second pitch of the contest, to give Pawtucket a 1-0 lead. Jed Lowrie hit an RBI single down the third-base line that scored Van Every in the bottom of the fifth, giving Pawtucket a 2-0 lead.

•QUOTES: “There is no quit in these guys,” Pawtucket manager Ron Johnson said after Pawtucket overcame a two-run deficit in the seventh. “After the [top of the] seventh, the guys were saying, ‘OK, we’re down, 2-0, let’s see what we can do here.’ I just think it was phenomenal. We put ourselves in a chance to win in the ninth, and then with JV (Jonathan Van Every) on deck, Bryan Pritz comes up with the big hit (in the 10th) . . . [Columbus pitcher Mike Bacsik) left the breaking ball up there and [Van Every] hit it out.”

•TODAY’S MATCHUP: Charlie Zink (8-2, 2.14 ERA) will pitch for Pawtucket tonight (7 o’clock) against Richmond right-hander Brian Lawrence.
