Colts Sneak By Sturgeons, 4-3
The Louisville Colts satisfied the home crowd at Derby Grounds, treating them to a season-opening win, 4-3, over the Detroit Sturgeons. Starting Pitcher Kip Hereford was the standout performer for Louisville.

Batting in the bottom of the 12th, 30-year old left fielder Hick Rogers had a real shot to win the game. Detroit pitcher Bill Poole was determined not to let it happen. But with two outs, Rogers hit a run-scoring single. The Colts had a walk-off triumph.

"Great to get the crowd on its feet," Rogers said.
