No one was more impactful than John Heller in the 3-2 Kinuso win over Louisville. Heller, the 13th overall pick in the 1962 draft, hit 2 home runs. Ken Brett, 1-1, earned the win in relief. He allowed no runs on no hits in 1.2 innings. The Blues raised their record to 3-4.

César Muñóz was the walk-off hero for Kinuso. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Blues second baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"We played hard and won," said Heller. "Sometimes, baseball really is that easy.'
