Barnhill Stars in 8-1 Louisville Win
Sam Barnhill was superb against Pittsburgh. The right-hander, who is tied for 2nd in the FL with a 5.6 K/9 rate, had a curveball that was virtually unhittable at times. The result was a Colts victory. The score was 8-1. Their 62-44 record puts the Colts first in the Federal League.

Barnhill, who leaned on his curveball, allowed 1 run on just 3 hits over 9 innings for the Colts. For the most part, Pittsburgh hitters were simply overmatched.

"Sam was throwing strikes, locating well," said Louisville manager .
