Edwards Helps Louisville Cruise to 11-3 Win
The Louisville Colts soundly defeated the Pittsburgh Vulcans, 11-3, at Vulcan Grounds. Jed Edwards, who finished 2nd in the FL in triples with 12 in 1882, let his bat do the talking. He went 3 for 6 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 4 runs and drove in 3 for Louisville. Ed Lane, the winner, improved to 12-5. He held the Vulcans to 3 runs on 6 hits over 9 innings, while striking out 3 and walking 2. The win for the Colts raised their record to 29-10.

Louisville used a clutch at-bat from Charlie Shanafelt to capture the win. The right fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Colts ahead, 4-2. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Our guys are never satisfied," said Louisville manager .
