Westerners Hang 6-2 Loss on Colts
Indianapolis pitcher Bill McDonald did his part in helping his team defeat the Louisville Colts, 6-2. The opposition could never get too much going against the right-hander. In 9 innings, McDonald surrendered 5 hits, while striking out 1 and walking 1. He allowed 2 runs. With the win, the Westerners have a record of 45-46.

Indianapolis relied on the hitting of Kermit Nelson to pick up the win. The shortstop ripped a 2-run triple in the top of the fifth inning to put the Westerners on top, 5-2. For the game, Nelson had 1 triple and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

McDonald attributed the win to "concerted effort and focus."
