Westerners Reel Off Another Win
Indianapolis second baseman Bill Windom contributed significantly to his team's 7-2 win over the Detroit Sturgeons. Windom, who is on pace for 56 RBI this season, went 2 for 4 with 2 runs scored to lead the offensive attack for the Westerners. Indianapolis goes to 30-37, Detroit to 44-23.

Windom had a key at-bat for Indianapolis in the bottom of the second. With a runner on 1st, he hit a 2-run home run. It was his 3rd home run of the season and gave Indianapolis an early 2-0 lead.

"This was a total team effort," said Windom.
