Louisville Dispatched, 9-3, by Indianapolis
Indianapolis beat Louisville on the strength of starting pitcher Wilton Strickland's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a win, 9-3. In 9 innings, Strickland surrendered 7 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 1. He allowed 3 runs. Indianapolis, now 4-1, is setting the league on fire so far.

Indianapolis relied on the bat of Will Wessels to get the win. The first baseman ripped a run-scoring double in the top of the third inning to put the Westerners ahead, 2-0. For the game, Wessels had 2 doubles and 1 triple in 5 at-bats.

"It's nice to get the results when you're feeling good and throwing the ball well," said Strickland after the game.
