Royals Deal Redbirds 5-4 Defeat
Crowds lined up early in front of Louisville Slugger Field, eagerly awaiting the start of the 1972 Polaris Union Baseball season. On the mound was Sammy Calderón for the visiting Montreal Royals and Henry Chase for the hometown Louisville Redbirds. In a spirited contest, the Royals pulled out the win, defeating the Redbirds by the score of 5-4. Especially impressive was Jake Cameron. The winning pitcher was Sammy Calderón. He tossed 109 pitches over 6 innings, allowing 4 runs on 6 hits. Bill Kidder, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 1st save.

Javier García, who led the UL in batting average with .369 in 1961, helped out the Montreal cause in the top of the fourth inning with a 2-run double. For the game, the first baseman was 3 for 5 with 2 doubles and a walk, while adding 2 RBI.

"We did enough to win," said Cameron.
