Colts Top Westerners, 5-2
Extra innings were needed to determine a winner at Western Grounds.

The Indianapolis Westerners went down to defeat to Ray Ball and his Louisville teammates. The final score was 5-2, Colts, in 10 innings. Ball yielded 2 runs over 10 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 2, and struck out 3. His record improves to 5-4.

The game was at a stalemate until right fielder Charlie Shanafelt came to bat in the top of the tenth. Facing Indianapolis pitcher Bill McDonald, he hit a 0-2 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Louisville on top, 3-2.

"I feel honored to be a part of this team," said Shanafelt.

With the win, Louisville pushed its record to 24-22.
