Louisville Roughed Up By Oracles
Orlando third baseman Ken'ichi Taketo had 3 ribbies while helping his team defeat the Louisville Redbirds, 12-3. Toni Salonen got the win, improving to 1-1. He held the Redbirds to 3 runs on 4 hits over 9 innings, while striking out 13 and walking 1. Louisville falls to 2-9.

It could have been a different outcome for Orlando, had it not been for Ed Herrmann, the 25-year old catcher . Herrmann contributed a 2-run home run in the top of the second inning to put Orlando up, 2-0.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Herrmann told the Orlando Times. "It's as simple as that."
