Colts Earn Win with Late Rally
The Louisville Colts defeated the Indianapolis Westerners, 8-7, in 10 innings. Norm Heyward led the way, going 3-for-5 for Louisville. Ed Lane got the win, improving to 8-4. He worked 9 innings, giving up 7 runs on 9 hits, while striking out 3 and walking 3. Sam Barnhill earned save number 1 this season.

Louisville used a timely hit from 26-year old third baseman Frank Crumbley to get the win. The pinch hitter delivered a run-scoring triple in the top of the tenth inning to put the Colts on top, 8-7. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was huge.

"Our team showed some gumption," said Heyward. "I like it."

The Westerners fall to 12-16 and continue to sputter in the early going.
