Colts Notch 6-3 Win Versus Vulcans
Ray Ball, who is tied for 5th in the FL with a 2.41 ERA, had a strong outing for the Louisville Colts against the Pittsburgh Vulcans at Vulcan Grounds. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 6-3 win. The Colts now have a mark of 57-38.

Louisville used a clutch at-bat from Sam Day to capture the win. The second baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Colts ahead, 5-2. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Good, blue-collar kind of win," said Colts manager .
