The inspired effort of Indianapolis left fielder Greg Eckelberry was not enough to prevent a loss, 8-6, to the Peoria Caterpillars. Eckelberry went 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2. Frank Sturge came out of the bullpen to earn the win. The left-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 2.1 innings. His record now stands at 1-1. The win lifted the Peoria record to 72-58.

In the bottom of the fifth, Peoria catcher George Cronin had a productive at-bat. With the bases loaded and one out, Cronin stroked a 2-run single to center. It made the score 7-2, Peoria. For the game, he went 2-4 with 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs.

"The more wins we pile up," said Cronin, "the more I like our chances."
