Colts Clip Pilots, 12-11, in R1 Contest
Already down in the Round 1, the Louisville Colts put on their best show, beating the St. Louis Pilots by a final score of 12-11. Larry Buckley was special. He went 1-2 with a double and 4 walks. He scored 5 runs and drove in 2. Louisville now trails St. Louis 3-2 in the best-of-7 affair.

Louisville used the hitting of Ken Duncan to pick up the win. The catcher clubbed a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Colts on top, 12-11. For the game, Duncan had 1 home run and 1 single in 6 at-bats.

"I hate extra innings," Louisville manager said. "It makes everyone more tired, wears out the bullpen, wears out the fans. Even winning doesn't make me feel good about it."

Game 6 is scheduled for Thursday at Derby Grounds in Louisville.
