Louisville Topples Cleveland, 7-5
Charlie Dexter helped his team muscle past the Cleveland Spiders, 7-5. In the game, the Louisville catcher went 3-5 with 3 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Chris Paff was the winner. Over 9 innings, he allowed 5 runs on 10 hits, with 1 walk and 4 strikeouts. The Colonels now have a record of 74-47 with the win over Cleveland.

Tom McCreery, the 22-year old first baseman , had a direct impact on the outcome. McCreery contributed a 2-run single in the top of the third inning to put Louisville up, 6-1.

"It wasn't our best performance," said Dexter, "but a win in this league is nothing to sniff at."
