Rock 'Em! Sock 'Em! Payne Blasts 3 Homers in Indianapolis Win
Thanks in large part to first baseman Mark Payne, the Indianapolis Eagles beat the Chicago Gangsters, 5-3. Payne hit 3 home runs. Tim Sindt, the winner, goes to 2-1. He allowed 2 runs on 4 hits, with 1 walk and 3 strikeouts over 6.2 innings. With the win, the Eagles have a record of 82-70.

The Eagles had to work out of trouble in the bottom of the ninth. The score was 5-3, Indianapolis, with no one out. Chicago, with the bases empty, was mounting a threat. Hiromichi Sato dug in at the plate, but on a 2-2 changeup, he grounded out.
