Redbirds Sneak By Rainiers, 2-1
The Louisville Redbirds beat the Seattle Rainiers, 2-1, at Louisville Slugger Field. Starting pitcher Bert Blyleven was a big reason why. He held his opponent in check all game. Gary Waltone got credit for the win, improving to 3-3. He allowed no runs on no hits in 2 innings. The Redbirds raised their record to 35-64.

Cesar Geronimo was the walk-off hero for Louisville. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Redbirds pinch hitter hit a dramatic run-scoring double to send the teams home.

"Winning is hard sometimes," said Redbirds manager Adrian Shaffer. "This one was nice to get."
