Sturgeons Handled by Louisville, 9-5
The 9-5 Louisville win over Detroit was due in large part to Larry Buckley. The Colts first baseman was 3 for 5 with 3 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. Ed Lane, who finished 4th in the FL in saves with 1 in 1884, was the winning pitcher. Over 9 innings, he allowed 5 runs on 9 hits, with 2 walks and 4 strikeouts. Louisville now has a record of 69-28 with the win.

In the top of the third, Louisville right fielder Charlie Shanafelt had a productive at-bat. With runners on 1st and 2nd and no one out, Shanafelt stroked a run-scoring single to right. It made the score 3-2, Louisville. For the game, he was 1 for 1 with 3 walks and was hit by a pitch.

"I'm glad we can make our fans happy with a win," Buckley told the Louisville Today.
