Late Heroics Net Colts 6-5 Win
The Louisville Colts needed 10 innings to defeat the Indianapolis Westerners, 6-5, at Derby Grounds. Louisville third baseman Frank Crumbley had a superb performance. He was 3-5 with a home run and a double. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Ray Ball got credit for the win, improving to 16-4. He allowed 5 runs on 12 hits in 10 innings. The misery never ends for the Westerners, who've lost 12 in a row.

With the game tied in the bottom of the tenth, Crumbley delivered for Louisville. That's when he hit a run-scoring double off Bill McDonald to win the game.

"You've got to be careful that you do not assume the attitude that, hey, we'll be fine. We'll be fine," Indianapolis manager said. "But we're not fine now, and it's time for us to do something."
