Barons Suffer 7-4 Setback
Bill McDonald, who is on pace to win 14 games this season, propelled his team to victory over the New York Barons. The final score was 7-4, Indianapolis. In 9 innings, McDonald surrendered 7 hits, while striking out 1 and walking 2. He allowed 4 runs. The Westerners saw their record improve to 43-45.

Indianapolis used a timely hit from Bill Windom to get the win. The second baseman stroked a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Westerners ahead, 5-3. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"To get where we want to as a team, we all have to do things out of our comfort zone," McDonald told the Indianapolis News.
