Westerners Take Down Unions, 8-3
The Indianapolis Westerners dumped the Philadelphia Unions, 8-3, in large part due to catcher Karl Eicher. On the day, Eicher went 3 for 4 with a triple and a double. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Westerners. The winning pitcher was Doug Crockett. His record now stands at 7-15. The right-hander went 9 innings, allowing 3 runs on 9 hits for the Westerners. The Westerners go to 22-36 with the win.

Bruce Riley had a big 2-run triple for the Westerners in the bottom of the first inning. With Indianapolis leading 1-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a splitter from Paul Bates, who is on pace to win 11 games this season, and swatted a triple to right-center. It was his 5th triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Westerners ahead, 3-0.

"At least I did my job," Eicher said.
