Eagles Rally Late to Clip Detroit
Detroit got a decent performance from pitcher Nick Turpen, but it wasn't enough to beat the Indianapolis Eagles. Indianapolis won the Eagles Stadium contest, 5-4. Turpen threw 5.2 innings allowing 3 runs for the losing team. Vinny Ceja, credited with the save, is now 1 for 1 in save opportunities. The victory gives the Eagles a record of 71-43.

Indianapolis took a 5-4 lead on Tony Bradshaw's 23rd home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Bradshaw hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Detroit pitcher Efrain Gutierrez visibly frustrated.

"I like the grit of this ballclub," Bradshaw said.
