ABCs Take Tight Tangle
The Indianapolis ABCs defeated the Brooklyn Royal Giants, 11-10, at Ebbets Field. Indianapolis was led by slugging catcher Johnny Bench, who went 2-4 with a home run and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 2 times and driving in 4. The Indianapolis win streak is now 3 games.

With Indianapolis trailing 9-8 in the top of the ninth, Bench hit a curveball from Eric Gagne for a 3-run home run. It was his 29th home run of the season and put the ABCs ahead, 11-9.

Bench told a Indianapolis Observer reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.
