Colts Take It on Chin, Lose 11-3 to Indianapolis
Indianapolis parlayed a decent outing from starter Doc Burbank into a solid win over the Louisville Colts. The final score was 11-3. With their winning streak at 4, the Westerners have raced to a strong start this season.

Will Wessels had a big 2-run triple for the Westerners in the top of the eighth inning. With Indianapolis leading 4-3 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a curveball from Sam Barnhill and swatted a triple to right-center. It was his 2nd triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Westerners ahead, 6-3.

"The bar for us is not a particular opponent, it's ourselves," said Indianapolis manager .
