Indians Lose as Bats Stage Late Rally
Starting pitcher Mike Oestreich took care of business, helping the Louisville Bats stifle the Indianapolis Indians, 5-2. The win was credited to Mel Valdez in relief. His record improves to 10-5. Ben Minnich took the loss. The win gives Louisville a season record of 48-38.

Louisville took a 3-2 lead on Paul Epperly's 8th triple of the season. The bases-clearing triple, which Epperly hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Indianapolis pitcher Ben Minnich visibly frustrated.

"We understand we didn't play our best baseball," said losing manager Rene Almanza. "We'll shower it off and be ready to compete."
