Redbirds Deal Terriers 7-4 Defeat
The Louisville Redbirds racked up a win at Terrier Park, bumping off the St. Louis Terriers, 7-4. James Jacobson, who started for Louisville, pitched effectively for his team. Bert Blyleven earned the save for Louisville, his 2nd. The Redbirds, at 22-28, sit in 9th place in the Ursa Division.

Louisville used the timely hitting of Reggie Jackson to capture the win. The center fielder socked a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Redbirds ahead, 4-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"Winning the game is always the first objective," Jacobson said.
