Ball Hurls 1-0 Masterpiece
The Detroit Sturgeons were almost helpless in their 1-0 loss to the Louisville Colts and hurler Ray Ball. Ball kept the Sturgeons confused all game, spinning a 3-hit shutout.

"Tip your hat to Ball," Detroit manager said in a postgame interview. "He kept us off balance all night."

The 23-year-old right-hander had 1 walk and 1 strikeout in a strong performance.

"It just happened to be one of those games where even when I made mistakes, they either fouled them off or someone would make a fine defensive play," Ball said. "It was just one of those games that things went my way."

In 19 starts this year, Ball has recorded a 15-3 record and a 2.98 ERA.
