Colts Nipped, 7-4, by Detroit
The Detroit Sturgeons withstood a good performance by Louisville first baseman Larry Buckley to knock off Louisville, 7-4, in 10 innings. Buckley went 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Detroit raised its record to 59-42 with the win.

Detroit used the timely hitting of Napoleon Crane to seize the win. The first baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Sturgeons on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"It was terrific getting this win," Crane said. "We put in a lot of work to do it."
