Still Kicking: Louisville Cut St. Louis Series Lead to 3-1 With Late Win
Ray Ball was not about to watch an opponent celebrate a championship on his home field.

The right-hander pitched the Louisville Colts to victory at Derby Grounds, staving off the St. Louis Pilots, who remain one game away from a title. Ball threw 13.0 innings of 8-hit ball. The win cuts the series deficit for the Colts to 3-1 in the best-of-7 series.

Ball went the distance for Louisville. He allowed 2 runs on 8 hits, while striking out 0 and walking 4.

"That was fun but I'll be happy with a nice, safe win next time," Louisville manager said.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Derby Grounds in Louisville.
