The Louisville Bats faced a tough opponent in Columbus pitcher Bertrando Pesaresi, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Huntington Park by a final score of 7-4. Pesaresi went 5.2 innings and allowed 2 runs. Mel Valdez earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings. He upped his record to 9-5. The Bats lead the West Division by 2 games.

It could have been a different outcome for Louisville, had it not been for John Costa, the 24-year old center fielder . Costa contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the ninth inning to put Louisville up, 5-4.

"You need to show up when your number's called," said Costa.
