Excelsiors Fall to Stars Late
Indianapolis Stars starter Tom Kitts found his groove in his team's 7-4 win over the New York Excelsiors. The 'W' lifts Indianapolis's record to 41-54.

Versailles, Indiana-born Paul Hillis came through in the clutch. In the bottom of the eighth, with the bases loaded and the Stars trailing 4-3, he hit a 2-run single to center to put Indianapolis on top.

"Just glad I could help us get a win," said Hillis.
