Thrilling Victory Pushes Colts Win Streak to 6
The Louisville Colts topped the New York Columbians, 7-6, with second baseman Sam Day playing a big role. Day went 4 for 5 with 2 doubles and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Colts in the win. Ed Wales was the winner. He's now 17-9. The loser was 22-year old right-handed pitcher Martin Bird. The Columbians, now 19-22, have lost 4 straight.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With two out, Day hit a fastball from Martin Bird for a run-scoring double. The Colts, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"It was offense that won us the game," said winning manager .
