| Colts 7-3 Victors Over Pittsburgh | The Louisville Colts beat the Pittsburgh Vulcans, 7-3. Louisville pitcher and Hamden, Connecticut, native Ray Ball led the way. Ball, now 20-5, was the winner. In 9 innings, he gave up 8 hits, while striking out 3, walking 2, and allowing 3 runs. After today's action, Louisville sits at 70-29, while Pittsburgh falls to 43-52.
Had Jed Edwards not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Edwards hit a 2-run single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Colts.
"I think it just wasn't our night," said Pittsburgh skipper .
