Colts Beat Cyclones, 6-5 | The Louisville Colts picked up a win at Derby Grounds, taking down the Chicago Cyclones, 6-5. Starting pitcher John Killion was a big reason why. In 9 innings, Killion surrendered 9 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 2. He allowed 5 runs. Louisville, at 53-56, occupies 6th place in the Federal League.
An inflection point occurred with no one out in the bottom of the seventh. That's when Colts right fielder Gerard Blackman hit a fastball from Tom Ewart for a 2-run single. Just like that, Louisville was up, 4-3.
"Helping the team win is what it's all about," said Blackman. | | | | |
