TEAM RISP- Metropolitans: 3 for 18  Colonels: 10 for 20

John Kerins smashed 2 homeruns and had 5 RBI and Norm Baker completed the game
without help from the bullpen at Recreation Park as the Louisville Colonels,
running on all cylinders, ripped the ice-cold New York Metropolitans by a
large 20 to 7 margin.

It seemed that New York pitching was serving up softballs for Kerins to hit.
He lined a one-base hit in the 1st inning, smashed a two-run homer in the 2nd
inning, clubbed a three-run home run in the 3rd inning and singled in the 6th
inning.  Louisville provided plenty of action in the 1st inning when they had
4 runs on 4 hits, the 3rd inning which saw them plate 5 runs on 6 hits and
the 6th inning which saw them score 4 runs on 4 hits.  Louisville had many
opportunities throughout the game and scored in 6 separate innings.  

The win went to Baker(7-4) who allowed 7 runs in the game. Doug Crothers(0-3)
was charged with the loss.  He gave up 11 runs in 2 and 2/3 innings of work.

With this win, Louisville has a 14-12 record.  They have been 5-5 lately. New
York continued their losing ways and their record is now 5-21, worst in the
league.  They are 1-9 in their last ten games.
