ABCs Suffer 4-2 Home Defeat
The Homestead Grays and Indianapolis ABCs completed their game despite the inclement weather.

Starting pitcher Francisco Liriano was a major factor in the 4-2 Homestead Grays triumph over the Indianapolis ABCs. In 5.1 innings, Liriano surrendered 5 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 3. He allowed 2 runs.

Mike Epstein, who finished 3rd in the AL in on-base percentage with .420 last year, had a direct impact on the outcome. Epstein contributed a solo home run in the top of the third inning to put Homestead up, 3-2.

"We made a couple of mistakes," said Indianapolis skipper Daniel Makonnen, "and it cost us."

The win puts Homestead at 17-13.
