Louisville Colts starter Ray Ball was locked-in. He led his team to a win over the Pittsburgh Vulcans, 6-3. Louisville, now 9-5, has played well in the early going.

With two out in the top of the first, Charlie Shanafelt put Louisville in front, 1-0, with a run-scoring single. The Colts went on to win the ballgame.

"I like the vibe in the clubhouse after a win," said Shanafelt. "It sure beats the alternative."
