Redbirds Sneak Past Colt .45s, 2-1
Houston wasted an exceptional performance by pitcher Fred O'Brien, falling to the Louisville Redbirds, 2-1. O'Brien threw 7.0 innings of 3-hit ball for the losing team. Reliever Melvin Hudson picked up the win. His record improves to 2-3. Gordie Richardson took the loss. Bill Butler nailed down his 1st save.

Pat Coleman, the 26-year old catcher , had a direct impact on the outcome. Coleman contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the 12th inning to put Louisville up, 2-1.

"I felt good up there," said Coleman. "I saw the ball well."

Louisville, now 10-19, is off to a slow start.
