Indianapolis 8-3 Victors at Trident Field
The Indianapolis Clowns defeated the Chicago Union by the score of 8-3. Carlos Cruz starred for Indianapolis, going 3-for-4 with 1 home run. The win makes Indianapolis 19-23.

The Union had been locked in a 3-3 tie with the Clowns going into the top of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the five-time All-Star Sebastian Becton came to the plate. Becton hit a run-scoring double on a 0-1 changeup from Chicago hurler Jason Zierer. It was Becton's 3rd double of the year.

Becton was taciturn after the game. "A win's a win," he said.
