Indianapolis Westerners (19-24) 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 8 3

Barons Get Better of Westerners, 8-2
New York Barons starter Tom Samples kept the Indianapolis Westerners hitters in check, leading his team to a comfortable 8-2 win. Samples yielded 2 runs over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 8 hits, walked 0, and struck out 0. His record improves to 6-4. The Barons, now 22-24, know that wins in June count the same as wins in September.

An inflection point occurred with one out in the bottom of the third. That's when Barons shortstop Dave Claiborne hit a splitter from Bill McDonald for a 2-run single. Just like that, New York was up, 3-2.

"Very good win for our guys," said Claiborne.
