The Philadelphia Unions and Louisville Colts obliged fans hoping for an exciting game.

Sam Day had a good game, but he could not keep the Louisville Colts from falling, 8-7, to the Philadelphia Unions at Girard Grounds II. The Louisville second baseman went 2-4 with 2 doubles, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once in the loss. The first-place Unions now sit at 22-15.

In the bottom of the eighth, with the game tied, Louisville allowed the Unions to go up, 7-6, on a Louisville error.

"Nothing is scripted in this game," said Faulk.
