Bluebirds Tack 9-8 Loss on Indianapolis
Blues Field was the site of an exciting ballgame between the Nashville Bluebirds and Indianapolis Clowns.

The Nashville Bluebirds weathered a fine game by Indianapolis catcher Bob Ortega to upend the Clowns, 9-8, at Blues Field. Ortega went 2-3 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Billy Daily notched the win in relief. The left-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits in 2 innings. His record now sits at 1-1. Chris Watkins earned save number 3 this season.

Nashville used the hitting of Roderick Nunn to pick up the win. The first baseman clubbed a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Bluebirds on top, 9-8. For the game, Nunn had 1 home run and 1 single in 6 at-bats.

"I just tried to put the barrel on it," said Nunn.

Every game is important, even these early ones, if the Bluebirds hope to make a postseason run.
