Shanafelt Leads Charge, Louisville Blasts Westerners
The Louisville Colts licked the Indianapolis Westerners, 16-3. Charlie Shanafelt deserved a big chunk of the credit. The right fielder was 3-4 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 4 for the Colts. Now 27-52, Indianapolis has dropped 13 games in a row.

A key moment came when Shanafelt faced Indianapolis hurler Wilton Strickland in the bottom of the first. The Colts, who were trailing 1-0, had runners on 2nd and 3rd. Shanafelt got a 0-1 sinker and hit a 2-run single.

"Different night, same tune, unfortunately," said losing manager .
